It’s an understatement to say that I am excited for the latest Lolli and Grace stitch along!

Here are a few things to know about the stitch along:

• I’m hoping to start it on Friday, June 7th. (I want to make sure everyone who has ordered supply kits has time to get them.)
• There will be Parts 1-5, each with a separate blog post that will include all the information you need for that section.
• You DO NOT have to be an experienced stitcher to do this! I will show you how to do everything, including how to prepare your hoop, transfer the pattern, stitch everything, and finish the hoop.
• There will be video tutorials for each part.
• The PDF pattern will be included in the information for Part One.
• (UPDATE - I don't currently have supply kits available, but if you would like one, please contact me and I will put one together for you.) I have a limited number of supply kits available for this design. The kit includes PRE-PRINTED fabric (yay!), 13 skeins of DMC thread, and a needle. (It does NOT include the hoop or any backing material).
