Spring Burst by Hazel Blomkamp

If you’ve ever been fascinated by the intricacies of needlelace patterns and would you like to add thread weaving to your stitching repertoire, you’ve come to the right place!

Spring Burst by Hazel Blomkamp from The Handpicked Collection 3 is the ideal project to try both.

Worked onto ivory cotton, this glorious floral design explores two needlelace patterns and two weaving designs, providing a solid introduction to these fun and fabulous techniques.

Not only that, when finished, you’ll have a gorgeous pouch bursting with colour to show off, and an ideal place to store essential stitching supplies at home or on the go.

Now, a couple of special insider tips and notes about this project and the kit.

If you’ve been an admirer of Hazel Blomkamp’s designs yet never had the immense joy of stitching one of her projects, once again you’ve come to the right place.

While Hazel is famous for taking stitchers on epic needlework odysseys, Spring Burst is a great introductory project to learn all about her fabulous ways and means of creating needlework wonders in this ‘first timer’ friendly piece.

Also, if you are particularly partial to that vivid show-stopping pink cotton print Hazel has used in Spring Burst, she has graciously supplied us with the original fabric to be included in a limited number of Ready-to-Stitch kits that are now available online.

Oh, and while we’re talking about the super talented and always effervescent Hazel Blomkamp, don’t forget to check out her website HERE.
