Spring is coming! (I think it is anyways.)
I love tulips. I am part Dutch 1/4 to be exact and come from a little town that has a huge actual size windmill gracing it’s downtown. This was not there when I was running the streets of Little Chute WI as a kid…but every other yard had a kissing Dutch Boy and Girl. Some of you who have been following me know I planted a Moon Garden when we built our home. Moon garden, meaning all my blooms are white or shades of white…I will be home the whole time this Spring to see my tulips in all their glory! Social Isolation has some perks!
Our “moon” garden was the inspiration for our Triumph Tulips Table Mat. I designed this project for our North Carolina Retreat. But that isn’t happening and we have over 100 kits of each version so I am putting them out here for everyone. This will be the last new item we have for awhile as our Gov. had shut down our state of WI. We will get our Bunny kits, tumblers and Tulip kits out and then shut it down until we can open. Hopefully after Easter…like Pres. Trump wants..
I also have included a little video on how to stitch the Triple Alternating Blanket Stitch!
Dark Triumph Tulip Mat is 22″ x 22″…This color option is perfect for those new home owners where everything is a shades of grey. This looks amazing in my home and hopefully someday it can live there after it has run it’s coarse at the shop, fingers crossed. The embellishing stitch just adds a little extra zing and a few more hours of stitching but it is worth it!
This mat is a stunner for sure…
Growing up I only remember red and yellow tulips in our town. This more traditional color way is still a stunner and the new red wool we used it super cool.
I am still working on stitching this version…because I wanted it to show in our workshop all the stitching options for this mat…so that is why it is not finished yet. It is still beautiful and fun and I will have plenty of time to get it done now…
If you wish to purchase our Tulip wool applique mats, click the button below. We have all the optional notions you will need as well listed in related products. Make sure you have everything you need to get started on this. You need a piece of 24″ wide fusible web…just a reminder.
I hope you all can put a dent in your collection of sewing supplies! This is why we have what we have…as long as I can stitch…I am HAPPY! You agree?
NOTE: Please know we are working with a minimal crew…If you are calling to check on your order the girls cannot be shipping. So please wait a reasonable time before calling to check on your order. We promise to have the bunny pillows out before the end of this week for all orders placed by 3/25.
I have some fun new STICKERS. We will be putting one in every order for Bunnies, drink ware and Tulips and every order or until we run out! Stickers are about 4″ and are very nice vinyl can be used outdoor and you will LOVE them! If you wish to order more stickers they are $3 each. They are easy to apply, durable, weather proof & dishwasher safe. Click HERE for Stickers.

All your beautiful white flowers and bushes were so worth the wait, weren’t they? They’ll be more stunning with each year’s maturity.
Stay safe and well.
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin is asking for homemade masks made to their specifications. These are made to accommodate a filter. Please, please, please help with this urgent need if you can. We must protect our children and the heroes who are going to extraordinary lengths to take care of us all.

Thank you!
Your Dark Triumph Tulip Mat is gorgeous! The extra detail stitching really adds a lot of texture. Yours designs are just my style.
Love this! My favorite flower is the tulip also. Just ordered the pattern, have just a bit of wool in my stash, lol
Yo, from Huntsville, AL! LOVE the gray colorway – very sophisticated! Thanks for sharing your photos – do you have to worry about deer where you are, and if you do, how do you keep them out of the yard! I see your hostas – here they are like crack for the deer!
no, not really i am by the lake in a neighborhood…I have had deer here once…but not on a regular basis.
Oh Lisa, you made my day! I am 1/4 Dutch too. And love tulips. In fact we were suppose to be in Holland/Belgium right now for a Tulip Time Cruise. But… next year, right? Thank you for creating this beauty.
I absolutely love this tulip pattern. I have ordered the pattern and dark thread kit. I can’t wait until it arrives. Happy stitching!!!
