Stitch Duchess has a mascot. This garden gnome has been hanging around my apartment for years, as I’ve never had a garden. Randomly showing up in my fabric closet, amongst my shoes and frequently in my kitchen watching me cook.

Stitch Duchess has been very busy this year doing everything but Blogging. I finally organized my studio and fabric closet, which unfortunately is a bit messy again.  I purchased my very first new computerized sewing machine.  And best of all have spent the winter exploring new products for my shop. 

This spring I'll have new wearable items, fleece toys and new project patterns. Here are Ronan and Regan. Two lovely garden friends made of fleece, fabric and poly fill with safety eyes and noses.
