The products are a collaboration between Andi Michaelsmith and Nigel Coleman, who have developed several more designs since their initial TV appearance. “For me the most important thing is to stand out from the crowd,” says Nigel. “It is a tough market, but we have some excellent creative artwork that has been cleverly designed to enable crafters to create either a single stamped image for a card or build a more elaborate scene. We have some great new concepts to showcase at CHSI Stitches.” +44 (0)7768 010 933 picturethisstamps.co.uk VIRIDIAN 12J32 Viridian will display Opal’s new Claude Monet-inspired four-ply yarn at CHSI.
