I have been working on a new project which will be launching imminently. I'm not quite ready to reveal all yet, but look out for further information this week.

Father's day is exactly one week away now, have you got your card sorted? This design is exclusive to Thortful, if your Dad is Oarsome then let him know this Father's Day.

I am very pleased to share with you my new stockist Frippery in Colchester. You will find a lovely selection of local greetings cards. They are re-opening on Monday 15th so if you are in town please show your support to small business.

Its Father's Day in a little over a week, if you still need a card these designs are on my website. You can also have them delivered with your Holt Farm veg box. If you need a gift you will find some mounted originals on my website, just use the search box to find your location.

[Samantha Luxford @NaviStitch]

I am very pleased to share with you a new partnership with Holt Farm. They are an online farmers market currently servicing the Colchester and Ipswich areas. They have fantastic veg boxes and also work with some other artisan producers. You can now order cards with your veg box.

The newest addition to my website is my Art Cards. They are all numbered and signed. Made with a variety of techniques from Gelli printing, Indian block stamping, foiling and embossing. Not every card has all the techniques but they do all have a little free motion embroidery.

I just had to share this one again in situ. This is Ardnamurchan lighthouse in a frame and the real lighthouse is just around the headland. A great image shared with me by my customer. Thank you for letting me share the image, love it!

I would just like to share with you a recent commission sent to Scotland. This is Ardnamurchan Lighthouse on a vintage Admiralty chart. The recipient's home is on the chart and he has a special affinity with the Lighthouse. A very unique and personal birthday gift.

My next online market is on Sunday. This is a lovely market with some very talented makers. All of your support for small business helps so share the love ❤️

[Samantha Luxford @NaviStitch]

Today is the South Lanes online Market. This is a lovely Colchester based group. The online events are great replacements for the cancelled physical markets. There are some brilliant businesses in this market so drop in for a look. NaviStitch will appear about 1pm.

What a glorious bank holiday Monday we have had, although I'm still not sure that days of the week or even Bank Holidays are relevant really! These card shows beach huts on Mersea Island, I hope the beach wasn't too crowded today.

[Samantha Luxford @NaviStitch]

This is a recent commission of Plymouth, what makes this one particularly special is the frame. I am working with a local craftsman who has some Burmese Teak Timbers reclaimed from the SS Pegu.

[Samantha Luxford @NaviStitch]

Just a little update on our Stay-in-Touch packs. As some shops are preparing to reopen and lock down restrictions have lessened a little, its time to draw a close on this special offer. To give you fair warning they are available for one more week. https://t.co/g2lWTrmY93

[Samantha Luxford @NaviStitch]

I am pleased to share that I now have some NaviStitch designs on Thortful. I have 4 designs exclusive to Thortful, slightly different to my usual style but still including chart and stitch elements. You will find them here https://t.co/7Sqi6pZUrB

With no physical markets happening for a while I am very pleased to take part in the Village Pop-up Instagram Stories market this afternoon.

A big welcome to Needham Market Post Office as a new stockist. I didn't expect to be adding a stockist but as a Post Office they are still open, more than ever people are using cards to stay in touch with loved ones. Thank you for keeping these valuable communication lines open.
