Blog / wish list

The holidays are upon us! In case you're looking for gift ideas for your crafty, embroidery-loving friends and loved ones, I've pulled together a round-up of a few of my favorite embroidery supplies to inspire you:

1. Not only are Tulip embroidery needles lovely to sew with, they come beautifully packaged in a glass vial that can be used for storage later on. 
2. Wooden bobbins are a pretty way to organize a growing stash of embroidery floss. 
3. I design a handful of embroidery patterns, which have the designs printed directly onto the fabric. They're perfect for creating a custom kit to gift to a friend, or you can stitch one up yourself and gift the finished piece. 
4. A needle minder keeps needles right where you can see them.
5. Purl Soho always does such a nice job of stocking beautiful, high-quality, curated craft supplies, and their bundles of embroidery floss are no exception.
6. A monthly subscription to Sarah K. Benning's Pattern Program would make such a thoughtful, ongoing gift. Her unique and original PDF patterns include crystals, plants, and landscapes. 
7. These black silhouette scissors are perfect for snipping threads. 
8. A sew-your-own needle book kit by Sotak Handmade is both a fun sewing project and a great way to store needles and pins.
9. I love using a zipper pouch to store all of my embroidery supplies and pack them for flights. I think this beautiful leather pouch made in Oregon would be especially nice for that purpose. 

P.S. I put together a gift guide for quilters last year, in case you're looking for even more ideas!
