If today just happens to be your birthday – congratulations! We’re excited to be celebrating this special day with you.
If today is not your birthday, it may as well be with all the wonderful treats we have in store for you…
Today we’re releasing 12 brand-new stunning needlework projects to inspire and delight.
The Handpicked Collection 4 is now available and features a superstar line up of renowned artisans, superb designs and spectacular finishes.
In fact, the list of contenders vying for a spot in Collection 4 was so compelling, what was originally going to be a 10-project publication was increased to 12.
Ladies and gentlemen, for your stitching pleasure, may we present the exquisite offerings from The Handpicked Collection 4:
Dandelion & Buttercups by Jane Nicholas Stumpwork study of dandelions and buttercups with a butterfly in shades of copper and blue.
Tulip Time by Anna Scott Crewel pincushion and matching scissor sheath with brightly coloured tulips and lilies.

Our Handpicked Collections are focused on delivering two main objectives:
1/ - Bringing together projects chosen specifically for their beauty, creativity and flair.
2/. – Providing greater flexibility as to how you access each project.
All 12 projects from this collection are now available as follows:
- In book format
- As digital patterns
- As printed patterns
- As Ready-to-Stitch kits with instructions included
If you’re a collector, may we recommend the book format, which includes all 12 projects, as it represents exceptional value for money per design and looks awesome on your bookshelf as the collection grows.
If you’re just after the instructions for one or two projects, the patterns are your best pick.
If you’re looking for someone to do all the hard work for you, then Ready-to-Stitch kits are the go, and if you have the book but don’t want to bend the pages, you’ll appreciate having the instructions included in every Handpicked kit as well.
