Here’s a quick curated scroll of what caught my eye this month — tutorials from talented creators, fresh releases, and a few stitchy industry updates. These are mostly outbound links so you can jump straight to the original source and support the creators behind them. Expect a mix of tutorials, tools, videos, and noteworthy releases.

- Mill Hill material update: Product listings at 123Stitch say Mill Hill kits are now being made with perforated PVC instead of perforated paper.
- Getting Attention: The Witchy Stitcher shared a gothic cat cross-stitch design on Instagram, and stitchers are clearly loving it. See it on her Instagram or website.

A few fresh cross-stitch magazine covers popped up this month too, always one of my favorite ways to see what themes, colors, and seasonal ideas are circulating right now. Even a quick cover glance can give stitchers a sense of what is trending and what projects might be coming next.
