As a longtime stitcher and internet-obsessed researcher, I love tracking down the newest patterns, kits, tutorials, makers, shops, and creative trends across the needlework world. Every post on this site is collected, checked, and thoughtfully written to help stitchers:

• 👉 Find their next project (patterns, kits, designers to watch)
• 👉 Explore new techniques (stitch guides, beginner series, how-tos)
• 👉 Stay inspired with curated lists, links, and roundups

Whether you’re brand-new to stitching or a lifelong needleworker, Frogging News gives you a clear, friendly space to explore what’s new—and what’s worth stitching next.

I sometimes use affiliate links (Etsy/Awin) to support the site, but everything shared here is always curated with stitchers in mind. 💚
