Have you heard about DMC's Common Thread site? It has been around for several months now and showcases their homemade brand, artisans and kits. While it emphasizes a more trendy look, it does give props to their history and what made them a household name in the stitching world.
I really love the unconventional DIY kits. The cross stitch vase and embroidery calendars are insanely fabulous! They offer knitting and crochet as well as cross stitch and embroidery.
I know that a few people may grumble at the price of the kits or patterns but remember that you are supporting indie artist and handmade items and yes while it is through DMC, an independent artist created it.
If you are interested in being a part of their creative team or programs, they are open to adding new artist all the time.
Check out the site today and see what they have to offer. I hope you are like me and are happy to see the direction Common Thread is taking.
