There is no name more closely linked to ornate and fanciful fabric designs than Tula Pink. Sewists and quilters have long delighted in using her fabric to create whimsical sewn creations. Now hand embroiderers, too, can join the fun and stitch her signature designs with needle and tread!

In Coloring with Thread, you’ll find 17 of Tula’s animal and floral designs from her best-selling fabric collections rendered and primed for hand embroidery. Step-by-step stitch instructions for over 20 embroidery stitches are included to help you bring adorable bunnies, chipmunks, octopi, and elephants to life right in your hands. Each motif features a color guide and thread color suggestions selected by Tula herself to insure a gorgeous finished design. Plus, you’ll find every motif on CD-rom, where they are ready to size and print for your individual project needs.

Whether you follow her color guides or make each design your own, you’ll love coloring with thread and stitching the whimsical world of Tula Pink!

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Today’s pick is a charming Handmade Upcycled Vintage Tea Towel, and it’s the perfect way to incorporate a bit of nostalgia and sustainability into your home. Upcycled from vintage tea towels, this piece transforms the old into something functional and beautiful—making it a great addition to your kitchen or a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates unique, eco-friendly items.

Each towel has its own story, having been carefully repurposed into something entirely new, and that’s part of the magic. Not only are you giving a second life to vintage materials, but you’re also embracing a style that’s completely different from anything mass-produced.

Why this is a must-have:

  • Upcycled vintage tea towels, each with its own unique character

  • A perfect blend of sustainability and creativity for any home

  • Great for adding a cozy, eco-conscious touch to your kitchen or as a personalized gift

Personally, I’ve always loved the idea of upcycling old textiles, and this handmade towel does just that. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and full of character. It’s amazing how something as simple as a vintage towel can be transformed into something new and meaningful!
