Petals & Wings One Meaningful Word #9 Stitch Along
Welcome to the information page for the Lolli and Grace "Petals & Wings" One Meaningful Word #9 Stitch Along! There is a LOT of info, but please read through all of it very carefully. The information here includes:
• How to participate
• How this stitch along works
• What is included when you purchase the kit, fabric, or line drawing
As with any Lolli and Grace stitch along, you will learn new skills and stitches while creating this colorful, three-dimensional embroidery hoop and being a part of a vibrant, fun community of stitchers as well. There will be detailed written instructions, photos, color guides, diagrams, and in-depth video tutorials for each part.
How To Participate
There are two steps required for participating in the Petals & Wings stitch along:
1. Purchase either the Petals & Wings PDF line drawings, OR the pre-printed fabric panels, OR the complete supply kit.
2. Sign up for the Lolli and Grace email list. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP, because all of the instructions and links to video tutorials will be sent to you via the email you specify when you sign up. It's a two-step process, so YOU WILL NEED TO OPT IN when you receive the email confirmation about signing up. If you don't complete the second step of opting in, you won't receive the SAL emails.
TO SIGN UP, SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AND YOU WILL SEE THE NEWSLETTER SIGN UP BOX.
You are welcome to unsubscribe once the SAL is concluded, but you'll need to remain signed up for the duration of the SAL to receive the instructions and links.
How This Lolli And Grace Stitch Along Works
• The stitch along will start on Wednesday, April 16th and have four parts. Each part will be released every Wednesday one week after the previous part, concluding on Wednesday, May 7th.
• Each of the four parts will have complete written instructions, stitch diagrams, photos, and an extensive video tutorial showing you exactly how to complete each part.
• There are three options for you to get the materials for this stitch along:
Option 1: Purchase the complete supply kit. This kit includes everything you need to complete the design. However, there are a few items that are not included but that are optional (and very helpful). Those are explained in the supply kit listing, and you can purchase them at the same time as the kit if you wish.
Option 2: Purchase both pre-printed fabric panels (sold as a set) but purchase all of the other supplies yourself. What you are getting when you purchase this option is one panel with the main design and a second panel with the stumpwork wing designs.
Option 3: Purchase the PDF line drawings, and then you will transfer all of the designs to the fabric yourself and gather/purchase/use your own supplies. (The link for the list of supplies you'll need is further down.) If you are purchasing the PDF line drawings, you will only receive black and white drawings of the designs. All of the other instructions for transferring the designs will be sent to you when the stitch along starts (via the email newsletter for which you signed up).
• A short time after the SAL is completely finished, all of the instructions will be removed. They will then be available in my shop, where future customers will be able to purchase the complete PDF pattern, the fabric panels, or the supply kits, just as they would with any other design in the shop.
If you purchase the line drawings, fabric, or kit for the SAL, you will always have access to the instructions. If you aren't able to complete the design during the SAL and the information has already been moved over to the shop, just message me and I will be happy to send you the complete PDF instructions. You do NOT need to purchase anything again. During the SAL, you can also print out the instructions for your personal use. (Please do not share these instructions with others at any time for any reason.)
Supply Kits, Fabric Panels, and PDF Patterns
Supply Kits
Pre-orders for supply kits are now available in the Lolli and Grace shop. Pre-orders allow me to accurately judge how many people want them, so I can do a better job of making sure everyone who wants a kit, gets one. But these always sell very fast (and often sell out), so if you think you want a supply kit, please don't wait! Click the link below to get one:
Complete Supply Kit For The "Petals & Wings" Stitch Along
These kits are priced at a “Stitch Along Only” lower price, and they will stay at that price throughout the duration of the Stitch Along. They will continue to be available in the shop after the Stitch Along ends (subject to availability of the supplies), but the prices will increase after the Stitch Along concludes.
Pre-printed Fabric Panels
Although there will be complete instructions about how to transfer this design, it does have a lot of detail. Purchasing the pre-printed fabric panels for the main design and the stumpwork elements allows you to skip this step. Click the link below to get the fabric panels:

PDF Line Drawing
If you want to trace the designs yourself, you can purchase just the line drawings. These do not include any instructions - they will only be the main design and the stumpwork designs. Here is a link to purchase the PDF line drawings if you will be transferring the designs to the fabric yourself:

How Long You Will Have Access To The Instructions And Videos
All of the instructions and the video links will be active for the duration of the Stitch Along and for a short while after it finishes, so if you don't finish your hoop while the SAL is running, THAT'S OK - DO NOT STRESS ABOUT THIS! At some point after the SAL is over I will disable the stitch along links, and after that the PDF patterns, fabric panels, and kits will be available in the Lolli and Grace shop. Therefore, if it's going to be a while before you're able to finish it, you are welcome to print out the instructions and patterns for your personal use later. (Also see note above about messaging me for the PDF instructions in the future.)
If you're not already, follow me on Instagram, because I will be sharing updates and lots of photos from everyone who is participating over there. I have a very active and fun community of creative people on my Instagram, and I'd love for you to be a part of it!
As always, I know that's a lot of info for right now, so keep an eye out here and especially on Facebook and Instagram, because I'll be talking about this stitch along in those places as well.
