You Had Me at Meow…
Working with over-dyed floss is always fun – the trick is to complete both legs of each stitch as you go, so the colour changes flow through the design. The direction you stitch (horizontal or vertical) can change the entire look of a piece! In this design and the one featured in our last issue (Winter 2014/15) Jo Gatenby used floss colours that remind us of the animals they represent – and how cute is that paw print fabric?

Gone Stitchin’
This design was inspired by a number of things: my discussions with Carla, a pile of junk at a charity auction, the model stitcher thinking a cat would be a cool addition, and my husband’s suggestion for more colour. It all came together in Gone Stitchin’, of which I’m justifiably proud of – hope you like it too! - Jo Gatenby

Best Witches
Jo says this is probably one of the most challenging pieces she's ever created, because the 3D image on the fabric became part of the design process. Fortunately for you, she's done all the hard work, figuring out how to match pattern to fabric! Using the tips provided, you can use the 'shelf' provided by Fabric Flair to display any collection of small designs you like – teacups, teddy bears, unicorns, sea shells, whatever you want!

I Love Frogs
Designer Jo Gatenby has been amazed, over the years, by the things people collect! Turtles, unicorns, dragonflies…and yes, frogs! So there may be more charts like this one coming in the future, because once she does something for one group of collectors the others inevitably say “Hey, wait a minute…” And since this seemed like a great idea for the front of a shirt, that’s how she finished it!

How Old Would You Be?
“How old would you be?” is not just a rhetorical question. It’s a question that urges us to shed the labels that come with age. We really are as old as we feel or think we are. If we didn’t know our age, how old would we feel?
