New Free Embroidery Patterns

We have designed two new free embroidery patterns for you. These two designs were inspired by the talented Teresa Perleberg! We recently interviewed her for our Artist Spotlight section, and loved her work so much, that we decided to design two embroidery patterns based on her work! 

Bunny's New Friend: This first design was inspired by one of Teresa's Bear Creek Bunnies.

Let It Snow: This second design was inspired by her many adorable snowmen.

While we are now going into spring and winter is behind us, we just couldn't resist making a pattern based off of her snowmen. They are just too darling!

Needle Felted Sculptures

 We've just finished up an interview with the extremely talented Teresa Perleberg of Bear Creek Design & Felting. We absolutely love the work that Teresa does with needle felting! Her work is so realistic, and we haven't seen anything like it before. We also were so intrigued by the fact that she lives on a farm and is part of the entire process, from sheep to sculpture!

We will be starting a new pattern series:

Dog Breeds!!

We were inspired to start this series after a friend showed interest in a dachshund pattern, and then another customer inquired about a basset hound pattern. We'd been considering dog breeds for a little while, so this was the push we needed to get started!

First up will be Doodle the Dachshund! We've already completed the trial run (which you can see above) and started working on the final version. The final pattern will have more swirls and we will take more care with our work, but otherwise we were pretty happy with the results!

And scheduled after Doodle the Dachshund:

- Basset hound

- West highland terrier

- What would you like to see???

Hope you all are as excited about this new series as we are!!!
