BIG NEWS 🎉
I’m thrilled to announce what I’ve been working on for the past few months (and the reason I’ve been quiet on here and haven’t released new designs in a bit):
MY SECOND BOOK IS OFFICIALLY IN PROGRESS!📚
After the joy of creating Cross-Stitch in the Forest, and seeing so many of you bring those woodland scenes to life, I decided to take the plunge and work on a new book. Once again, I’m teaming up with the great folks at Page Street Publishing to bring you a whole new series of nature-inspired designs.
I wanted this next book to take us somewhere new, so we’ll be leaving the forest behind this time around. I can’t tell you much more for now, but let’s just say that if you have some blue thread in your stash, it may come in handy…💙🪡
This second book won’t be published until Fall 2026 (one thing I’ve learned these past years is that publishing a book is a much longer and complex adventure than I first thought!) but I wanted to let you know now so you know to expect it.
Here’s what I can tell you:
🔹Just like last time, it’ll be divided in 5 chapters with a total of 25 brand new, exclusive patterns
🔹You can definitely expect to see some landscapes, animals and nature scenes
🔹Yes, there will be birds!
🔹If you enjoyed Cross-Stitch in the Forest, I’m confident you’ll like this new book
🔹It will launch in time to make a splash for the 2026 holiday season
I’ll be sharing progress, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes of the designs and book-production process over the coming months.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I’m eternally grateful for every stitcher who chooses to stitch my designs. You are the reason my little business can exist!
Stay tuned, more to come!
-Max
