Since I launched Red Gate Stitchery last year, I’ve been offering up various ways for you to adorn yourself with stitches. Today I’m offering a way to adorn something else: your coffee table. Introducing new cross stitch coaster kits!

The kits are a fun way to add a little something stitchy to your decor. They also make a nifty gift.

The coaster kits are available in thick gray felt or in a nice substantial cork. Both come with precision-cut holes in a modern martini glass pattern, so they’re a breeze to stitch (no hurting your finger trying to force a needle through thick felt or cork – ouch!).

Find them now in the shop!

One of the things I love about cross stitch is that it’s a portable craft. As you already know, I’ll stitch whenever and wherever I get the chance. Over the holidays that meant stitching in the car as we road tripped to visit family in surrounding states.
It may have been Christmastime, but I had a different holiday on the brain: Valentine’s Day. Some fun new patterns, perfect for the ones you love, are coming to the shop very soon, so stay tuned!
