Welcome to Willow and Hare Stitching - Home to Unique Textile Designs Inspired by Nature
At Willow and Hare Stitching, I specialise in creating exquisite textile designs using a blend of traditional stitching techniques. My passion lies in hand Appliqué, Embroidery, English Paper Piecing, Patchwork, and Quilting, crafting pieces that reflect the charm of botanicals and the serene countryside.

- x -Lapboard and Accessories for Stitching - x -
This beautiful design features my favourite Hare and Daisy design, complete with some Englsh Paper Piecing and Embroidery.
This Lapboard has become an essential tool for my stitching; it acts a tabletop when seated away from a
table and keeps the tools and stitching together on one surface so it can easily be moved around. It is also very
useful for taking to workshops as it also acts a portable ironing board.
The matching 'Large Pincushion' and 'Mini Pincushion Scissor Fob' complete the usefulness of this useful and pretty collection.
Full templates and instructions are given on how to make each object, including template transfer from pattern to fabric, Applique and English Paper Piecing.
Lapboard Finished Size 17 x 13 inches
Large Pincushion Finished Size 7 x 5½ inches
Mini Pincushion Scissor Fob 2½ x 2½ inches

Through tumbling leaves and grassy meadows full of flowers, the hares run.
This beautiful design was inspired by my love of the countryside, botanicals and the seasons that offer us an ever changing landscape.
This project is whimsical, folksy and primitive in design, and incorporates my love of mixing different fabric types and hand stitching techniques.
I use a mixture of cottons and hand dyed woven wool, and include my favourite past times of hand appliqué, embroidery and English paper piecing.
Finished size 40 x 46 inches.
