🐦‍⬛🌸 Crow's Treasure Block of the Month starts this week! 🌸🐦‍⬛

Join us for ten months of wool applique and embroidery with the wonderful Lisa Mortell. Each month you'll stitch a new block, and by the end you'll have a stunning quilt full of crows, wildflowers and mushrooms.

Here's what's included:
✨ Hand-dyed wools from Sue Spargo
✨ Silk velvet
✨ House of Embroidery and specialty embellishing threads
✨ A full pattern each month, with colour photos, written instructions, a stitching diagram and an applique template

Your first order also includes all the background wool, cotton fabric and eye wool for the whole quilt, so everything comes from the same dye lot and the backgrounds match from start to finish. 🖤

You'll also get to join our private Facebook group, where Lisa shares tips and support, and you can swap progress photos with other stitchers.
