New Release ~ Mortal Coil

I really loved designing and stitching this black snake, coiled in a big peony. Your eyes aren't failing you there, I did use gold metallics and it looks so good in person!

Find this on my Patreon, Tier 2 or Tier 3 until April 15th.

For my crafty crowd. Use it, adapt it, show your colours. I 'designed' it and it's free for non commercial use.
Also #fcknzs #FuckNazis !
(I found the lady bugs online as a "free pattern". If it is yours and NOT free, please contact me asap so I can either credit you or change the pattern.)

Kihada.

This yellow comes from wood chips — not a synthetic dye.

Same slow process, small batches, and a lot of testing to get it to this tone.

I love how it sits on Lugana — warm without going neon, soft without going flat.

@swachter Ah, thank you. With that name to go on, I can see about doing something similar myself.

Lucky encounter with the Loose Threads sewing and crochet club meeting at McMenamin's today. https://concordiapdx.org/2026/03/speaking-of-loose-threads-of-needlework-and-conversation/

I showed off my work in progress and my hexagon pieced mini project pouch. A Loose Threads member was working from that technique.

It's crazy: I've hated #needlework in its "girly image" all my life. Drills and motorised brush cutters were more my thing. 😁
Some years ago, my museum colleagues infected me with #embroidery fever. A dangerous virus! I haven't embroidered for two weeks and now I'm hungry for it! 😱 I urgently need a new project!

Merlot, Creeping Mist, and Beach Vibes are three of my core Moonlit colorways — all dyed on 14ct Zweigart Aida.

Deep wine. Soft grey. Sandy beige with hints of blue.

All stocked if one of them feels like your next project base.
