Our free collection of printable embroidery patterns has two new designs. We just added designs #5 Bunny’s New Friend and #6 Let It Snow. These designs were inspired by Teresa Perleberg of Bear Creek Designs & Felting. We hope you will enjoy these two new additions to our “Little Stitchy” Collection. And be sure to check out Teresa’s interview as mentioned in our blog post below.

We just wrapped up our interview with Teresa Perleberg of Bear Creek Designs & Felting. We instantly fell in love with Teresa’s needle felted sculptures, and just knew we wanted to feature her in our “Artist Spotlight”. One of the things we found most intriguing about her work, aside from the beautiful sculptures themselves, was the process. Teresa lives on a farm and raises sheep, and uses the wool from her own sheep to create her wool roving and then create her sculptures. We just love the fact that they are entirely homemade, right down to the original material from the sheep! And her work is just gorgeous! The details are amazing, and her photography of each piece is also beautiful! We think you’ll really enjoy her work, and invite you to read her whole interview!
