Kimat Designs

It's been a while since our last newsletter. Kim and I have spent the spring attending quilt, fiber shows, and events, with a few more weekends ahead. It has been wonderful to meet you and see your stitches in person.

I've been working hard to keep the online store updated, which involves a lot of hands-on inventory work. As a result, I may be slightly behind on launching new patterns.

This week, we received and posted online orders from Weeks Dye Works, Classic Colorworks, and Fiber on Whim.

We would like to highlight yet another fun designer, this time from Billericay, England – Cotton Pixels .

According to her website, Julia designs small festive 3D ornaments, cat themed pincushions and other modern and traditional patterns.

The techniques she uses include cross stitch, beading, Blackwork, & Hardanger.

She takes her inspiration from literature, nature or sometimes just a bunch of colourful embroidery floss.

Julia stitches and finishes all of her models, takes photos of them, and prepares patterns to be convenient to use. She creates professionally printed leaflets contain stitching and finishing instructions.

We love her gentle and very cute 3-D patterns and her choice of thread colours is uplifting and cheery.

Check out our collection of Cotton Pixel patterns today.

Enjoy!

Time to highlight another designer that is new to our store - The Stitch Crypt from Minnesota, USA. So many cute, creepy and spooky designs - perfect for Halloween or whenever you need a little spooky fun!

According to her website, Jen has loved creepy, spooky, and a little cute things for a long time. She grew up watching all the shows about aliens, the supernatural, cryptids, etc., and hasn't stopped believing that ghosts are real.

Fiber arts became a passion of Jen's while working towards her BFA when she realized she loved the intimacy and texture of fiber crafts.

So, in 2021 it seemed a natural fit to bring her love of cross stitch together with her love of all things creepy, spooky and cute. She started making her own patterns as a way to expel creative energy and share her love and perspective with others who enjoy the spookiness of our world.

When not stitching and designing, she spends time with her daughter, husband, and cat, Minnie.

Check out our entire collection our website! Enjoy.

Time to highlight another wonderful Canadian 🇨🇦 designer ... Tiny Modernist Cross Stitch. She has a lovely combination of modern sayings, animals, and some still have a traditional feel.

According to her website: "Tiny Modernist Cross Stitch charts are created by Canadian designer Cheryl McKinnon. She was an artist and a fashion designer before finding her true passion designing cross stitch patterns.

Her designs often use retro themes, bright colour palettes and bold graphic elements, and are influenced by her love of retro design, vintage kitchen appliances, Alexander Girard, Charley Harper, 60s fashion, and drawings of animals dressed up like people."

We have 17 new arrival patterns in our studio (one is already sold out) - some recently released and some returning favourites.

See the entire Kimat Designs collection of Tiny Modernist patterns by visiting our website. www.KimatDesigns.com and look under Patterns.
