This is just to let you know that I will be closing my Spoonflower shop at the end of this month, 31st October. If you want to purchase fabric pre-printed with my daily stitching templates, please order it before the last week in October.
You can find my Spoonflower shop here.
I will also be closing my shop at Woven Monkey on the same date.
Please do remember that you’ll be buying from Spoonflower (or Woven Monkey, a UK-based print-on-demand shop), not from me; I don’t receive any information about who buys what so I can’t help you with your orders if anything goes wrong.
For transparency, the only payment I receive is 10% of whatever you spend, though Spoonflower withholds a further 30% of that because I’m not a US taxpayer. 90% of what you pay goes to the print-on-demand site.
If you’re buying from Spoonflower, I recommend their cotton/linen canvas, and you will need a yard of it if you want to stitch the whole year.
Thank you all for your previous support; I am sorry if this decision causes any disappointment for anyone.

So sorry to hear. Sounds like you are turning a page
Sorry to cause disappointment; just trying to reduce my online footprint a little and to simplify more. Also Spoonflower are introducing a lot of changes, some of which I can’t accommodate.
Karen,
Thank you for letting us know. I am grateful that I have found your stitching sessions as they have given me calm and inspiring confidence. I hope you will continue to be leading us next year as we navigate the next year’s challenges by stitching. Always wishing you the very best.
Thanks so much Marsha. I’m not sure about leading – I can barely lead myself at the moment! – but yes, I will continue to stitch daily. Glad to have you along for the ride 🙂
Why not sell these as PDF downloads so those who can and want to print on their own fabric can do that easily? 100% of profits go to YOU!
Thanks for the suggestion. At the risk of sounding like an old person or a Luddite, how would someone print a yard of fabric from a PDF at home…? Is there some sort of gadget that allows such a thing…?
I’ve been printing on muslin fabric since 2017 on an Inkjet printer. Here’s a search link showing the YouTube videos that show you how. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=print+on+fabric
Ah, yes, I know you can print a sheet of A4 fabric in a domestic printer, I’ve done that too. But the pre-printed fabrics are a yard square. I guess people could print the paper templates onto 12 pieces of A4 fabric and stitch them all together to make about a yard. Probably quicker just to draw it on a single large piece of fabric… But it’s a useful idea, thank you.
You’re welcome. It’s an option that those of us who love working with smaller pieces of fabric would appreciate. I’m a quilter and could see stitching the finished pieces together as well as quilting them for added dimension. My best to you!
Sorry to hear that this option is going away, but I understand why and don’t blame you at all for your decision. Like many others, daily stitching has been a wonderful way to explore creativity, texture and color. I can never thank you enough for your kindness in sharing this practice.
I will order another yard for next year. I have purchased two years of the templates from you, as well, so I may have to up my game in future years and learn to transfer the designs to fabric myself.
Ah, sorry to cause inconvenience, Jane. I actually prefer drawing it onto fabric myself, it feels less prescriptive and helps me feel more connected to the design. You also have the option of using a soluble or erasable pen so that the lines aren’t permanent. Thanks so much for your kind words and valued support 🙂
I had seriously considered doing Spoonflower but also thought about simply printing my own fabric doing linoprint, which is one of my things, so to speak.
Linoprint it is! I get to keep 100% of that minus materials costs and whatever fee I pay to whomever I am selling through.
10%? Nope
Hooray for lino print! It’s a bit more complicated for me because they’re in the US and I’m not, which makes the accounting more complicated. There are a few other reasons that I won’t go into here. Printing by hand is probably the happiest way to go 🙂
So glad I saw your post this morning. I got my order in and added the moths as well. I think they will be interesting to stitch. I hope you are well and I certainly understand the importance of your time and family demands.
Thanks so much Georgayne; I hadn’t thought of the moths design as being stitchable but I guess it could be 🙂 Thanks for your kind thoughts.
Hi Karen, Thank you for letting us know. I was able to get a daily stich print. I love all of your designs and have bought several pdf\’s. Wish I could buy your thread, its so beautiful! Maybe we will get back to normal here after elections in November and the tarriffs lining the pedo president\’s pockets will be lifted. I hope you are doing as okay as you can. 😘 Mary in Arizona
thanks so much, Mary, I really appreciate your support. Let’s hope for the best in the November elections 🤞🏻Thanks so much for your kind thoughts too 🥰
