Summer is in full swing! Whether you're spending this season by the pool, at the beach, in the mountains or at home, it's time to stitch together!
Today we're delighted to share our brand new stitch along:
The Holiday Beach Ride. This stitch along features a brand new canvas by Sara Trucksess of SCT Designs. Jinny McAuliffe has worked to put together a fun group of stitches to bring the canvas to life! Below you'll find a free stitch guide for the project. The stitch along is completely self paced, so when you order a kit, you'll have everything you need to stitch the piece! It's a great project to tuck in your bag for your travels this summer. Plus... did we mention it's on sale this weekend? Get your $120 kit for just $90 when you order today. It doesn't get better than that!
You won't want to miss out on this fun experience!
