Patriotic Patterns!

Here are some things I've been working on to celebrate the events happening here in London this summer!  The cross stitch pattern is available as a free download from my website here, so if you're starting to feel a little patriotic too you can try it out (it will be available for a limited time over summer 2012).   I've also designed this tea towel which doubles up as a make-your-own bunting kit, it's available to buy from my etsy shop.  I'm so pleased the sun's come out this week, it's definitely helping to build anticipation for the summer celebrations!

Pop Up Shop!

Come along to the Pop Up Shop in Bethnal Green on Saturday.

There'll be lots of LOVE-ly goodies from local designer makers for you to browse, including crafty products you can personalise and give to someone special on Valentines day.

In the afternoon, there'll be a special Stitch Me Up drop-in workshop, where you can choose a cross stitch craft kit or tote bag and get crafting there and then. There are no additional costs, just pay for the kit you choose and relax, enjoy the surroundings with tea and cake!

Kits start from £5 and it's great if you like being spontaneous as there's no need to book. If you know you're definitely coming, so we know how much cake to make for everyone, you can join the facebook event page here or RSVP to workshops@cerysturner.com

'I heart...' stitch tote bag featured in N.E.E.T. Magazine Christmas Gift Guide
