What are you stitching? Oh...just a Bedspread!
As the Glasgow Bedspread takes its leave at the end of this year we wanted to share with you photos from some of the dedicated bedspreaders out there who are currently stitching the design (or who have remarkably already finished stitching it!) and a few quotes to hear what the project has meant to them.
The Crewel Jewels Needlework Group
We talked about the various therapeutic benefits of stitching earlier but there is no denying that of its most powerful by-products is the opportunity for connection with others and the groups and communities it creates.
Marcia Alvis-Slinski, crewel tutor and Guild leader from Brownsburg, Indiana and her group the Crewel Jewels are no strangers to the benefits of group stitching. Marci (pictured above) has dedicated her career to teaching others to get the best out of their crewel work and shares so many our own passions about keeping crewel work alive, especially in the United States where access to supplies and interest in the art form has waned so much over the past generation.
2019 Christmas Giveaway
See below our list discounts running right up to Christmas! Each discount will last for two days each and will expire at midnight on the second day.
To keep it exciting each day we will also be giving a surprise free gift or hosting a prize draw to win crewel goodies. Stay tuned to our newsletter or Facebook page for details and discount codes!

The Muncaster Bed Hanging - What's Included?
Like it's predecessor the Glasgow Bedspread, The Muncaster Bed Hanging will be available in three formats, Full Kit, Printed Linen & Instructions, and Printed Linen
Our new Elizabethan Even-Weave linen
Many years specialising in crewel work and exploring our passion for historic textiles have taught us to use only the highest quality materials to obtain the best results from our embroidery.
We thought we would share with you our recent research challenge as we set about sourcing a historically accurate 'Elizabethan' even-weave linen for our range of Elizabethan needlework kits.
Harriet Roberts & the Muncaster Bed Hanging
Over the past 10 years Harriet has gone from inquisitive customer, to top fan, to becoming our US-based kit tester and embroidery consultant. Recently she has become an integral member of our team and has helped us create the most impressive and undoubtedly highest quality crewel work kit we have ever produced.
