New Embroidery Classes

New to our class schedule for 2023 is three embroidery classes!  You all know my love of stitching and these three classes I choose for the year are simple and beautiful and will give you all the skills to hand embroider like a hoop-art pro.  


My Soul Belongs to the Wildflowers Embroidery Workshop

Each workshop comes with a kit to complete each project, instruction, lunch and laughs.  We love our embroidery classes because of the slow pace we set to really enjoy the art of embroidered florals.  


Field of Flowers Embroidery Workshop

You can find the schedule for the upcoming classes on the sidebar of our blog with registration in The Shop.  All classes registrations are on sale with code Workshop15 giving you 15% off.  This sale ends next Monday so don't delay.  


Hand Embroidered Jewlery Workshop

We hope to have you join us for a class or two.  We are hoping to offer these online as well, so if you are not able to travel to Utah, watch for upcoming live online classes.  These classes are geared for beginner to intermediate so wherever you are in your experience there is a seat for you here at our Tweetle Dee Embroidery Workshops .

Austin Star Barn Quilt Pattern

Over the stormy grey weekend that we had here is Utah, I had the chance to write the pattern for one of our most asked for patterns, the Austin Star Barn Quilt.  We designed this quilt last summer and painted it with our favorite Prairie Paint Colors against a striking black background.  I love to think of this design as a cross between our most purchased Texas Star and the really big grand dad of all stars, the Lonestar.  


Austin Star Barn Quilt Pattern

Our patterns are designed to be scaled to any size barn quilt board or surface you want to paint a design on.  One of the key issues with scaling a design is how to get something really complicated onto a board and I am so happy to say that our How To Paint A Barn Quilt Guide will answer these questions.  

The biggest issue is just as in fabric quilting, the more complicated the design, or the smaller the block, the more tedious it is for paint of stitch.  Larger is often times so much easier to create.  Our patterns are adaptable to any size.  I have painted stars on little itty bitty barn quilts for birdhouses and angels and have also painted the same design to cover an entire floor.  It is so fun to use the same design in all kinds of places!


Austin Star Barn Quilt

We are excited to add this barn quilt pattern to the collection of amazing quilt patterns you can paint.  We also offer this barn quilt in three sizes with a beautiful frame that can go inside or outside all the year round. 

We have extended our Spring Sale for another week.   The code to save 25% on all orders and class registrations is Spring25!

We wish the happiest of weeks with lots of sunshine and smiles!

Wilde Daisy Embroidery Kit

Our Wilde Bloem Collection continues to grow today with the addition of the Wilde Daisy Embroidery Kit.  Daisies dotting the fields and roadways in the rolling fields of the east and northwest are such a beautiful gift from nature.  Have you ever wondered why they grow in tough places?  


Historically Daisies symbolize hope.  When I research the meanings of flowers, I always wonder why a certain meaning is attached to a gift of nature.  I wonder if it's the color, structure, growth patterns, etc.  It's funny to me that I spent many summer afternoons picking petals off of Wild Daisies asking the question. "Does he love me? Does he not?".  Maybe that is the hope?  Maybe it is the color of white with a bright center of yellow.  Yellow like the sun and the light.  Possibly the symbolism of hope surrounding light.

The Wilde Bloem Wilde Daisy Embroidery Kit  includes the instructions, all materials and the frame to complete this beautifully simple flower.  The raised and layered petals of this daisy were created by using two tones of cream and white with long, smooth stitches that are angled to give the illusion of many delicate flowers.  You can watch the stitching of these petals on the Tweetle Dee YouTube Channel.  



We hope you have loved the flowers in the Wilde Bloem Collection.  They will continue to "grow".  In fact, if you follow me on Instagram you can watch me convert my vegetable garden into the Wilde Bloem Garden over the next couple of weeks.  We love these flowers enough to build them a live garden.  So whether you paint, embroider or quilt, you will find kits and patterns to create your own Wilde Bloem Garden too.  

Wishing you a hopeful week!
