March 2026

Phew! What a bumper month this is going to be and I am already beyond excited to see what you come up with using my humble pattern.

I’ve given you a pile of options for March. You can make BIIIIG stuff or quick and little stuff.

I did both! haha!

I made a table runner which will be my main table decoration under a basket of Easter eggs for Easter this year. I also stitched some egg shaped designs which I have not yet decided what to do with and am waiting for your genius ideas.

Originally I was going to make this a blue and yellow theme but then I added a red, then a green, and then just a tiny bit of orange…. and the rest is history.

I was inspired by Easter eggs of course! Every year I paint new designs, but i was delighted to see the ones pictured on the front cover as I haven’t seen them in about 4 years. I loved the rich earthy colours and decided they will form the basis of this month’s colour story.

For your small version of the project I decided to reuse the flowers on the main design and enlarge them to give you single stand alone patterns to use as you wish.

As you can see I made mine into egg shapes… what will become of them is anyones guess but it will have something to do with Easter of course!

I was thinking they would also make great pocket designs or small bags.

Now regarding the colour stories… I won’t spoil it for you by posting the photo here to the blog. I want you to see it in the magazine. The second colour story is very VERY different to what’s on the cover. I hope you like it!
