This free raccoon sampler PDF pattern is just the incentive I need to finally learn some embroidery stitches. I’m over 60, so it’s never too late! The pattern has everything needed to begin learning with the added bonus of daily emails for 14 days explaining how to execute the stitches. The short videos are great!
I’m grateful to penguinandfish for offering this free pattern and instruction to get me started!
Sharon M.
The pattern is so cute. The sampler is a great way to try out a variety of stitches. The video links is an added bonus.

I haven’t even started it yet as I found one of your kits that I started and would love to finish before I start anything else. The kit is “Bee Kind” goes really well with the one I worked on when I was losing my dad and needed some busywork. I promise Rocky Racoon Stitch Sampler will be the next one I do. I am looking forward to it very much.

It has been more than 40 years ago that I last did quite a lot of embroidery. Only cross-stitch. I love to see embroidery and have hanging around me some beautiful pieces i inherited. I see the labour, love and leisure time in it. Since 5 years I watch YouTube, mainly for quilting, but also other handicrafts. My whole live I have this embroidery hoop in my vicinity and never used it. And I have some tablecloth with free stitchery. Then Alyssa's funny, happy Raccoon came along, with the workshop. That was it, all the ingrediënts were there and I took off.
So far I like all the stitches, except the Splitstitch. Can you see!? I have got the floss above the jumper. But, omg, I missed the one red stitch of the jumper. The day I started a YT Lady suggested using a double cloth when using the hoop and I think it is a success.
Enough writing, back to stitching.

It was every easy and I brushed up on my stitch's. My granddaughters thought it was cool and that's enough for me
Karla W.
Another wonderful pattern from Alyssa Thomas of Penguin and Fish! This pattern comes with very helpful, quick stitch tutorials. All of the patterns from Penguin and Fish are so sweet and playful. I love stitching along with Alyssa's lives on Facebook and YouTube. Highly Recommend!!!
Kathy B.
Like all your fun design's this one is great and fun to do. I plan to put this one on my hand sewing bag.
