Stitch Talk – Details, episodes & analysis

We all have them. Those pesky unfinished projects (UFOs) and Works-in-Progress that we never quite get around to actually working on.

Today I'm sharing some top tips for getting motivated and tackling those unfinished projects - from bribery to breaking it down into bitesize chunks, these are all the ways I'm motivating myself to tackle those WIPs this year!

Welcome to this thoroughly daft episode of Stitch Talk to celebrate the festive season - get ready for the Great Cross Stitch Quiz of 2023 and a lovely stitchy festive sing-a-long!

Welcome to this month's episode of Stitch Talk! This month I spoke with Claire Brown from Claire Brown X Stitch all about her beautiful printed cross stitch fabrics.

Welcome to the February episode of Stitch Talk! Did anyone else blink and miss this month?!
