Wild Olive has just released a very cuddly new pattern, check out Mollie's blog post on how she did the watercolour tinting.

Patterns: Wild Olive Summer Stitching Club

Wild Olive Summer Stitching Club sneak peak

This coming Monday (June 3rd), Wild Olive is launching her Summer Stitching Club. Each week between June and August club members will receive a mini embroidery pattern, small enough to fit on a paper pieced hexagon and the ideal size to take with you to the beach or the pool side. They'll also receive instructions on how to do the paper piecing, so by the end of the summer they'll have a lovely table mat or wall hanging. What a lovely way to remember the summer of 2013. You can sign up here, hurry, if you sign up before tomorrow you can join for an absolutely bargain rate!

I just stumbled across the most wonderful Embroidery Basics series over on Mollie Johanson's blog, Wild Olive.

So far she's featured a gorgeous array of pics and stitches, including:
Transferring a pattern
Choosing colors
Strands, sewing, stabbing, and starting
Running and back stitches - free pattern!

Her photos are just amazing, and she has the cutest little mascot ever:
