I’ve been working on a lovely embroidery & appliqué class that you can take virtually, in the comfort of wherever you like to learn best! You can watch the trailer for this class HERE.

This is a 2 hour class with a link that doesn’t expire, so you can take as long as you need to complete the project! You will get 2 sizes of the pattern to work with and I’ll show you different options to appliqué as well as teach you the embroidery stitches you’ll be stitching. I’m really excited about this one and can’t wait to have you stitching along!

Like all of my classes, this one is available for a limited time and you can learn more about it here: The Mug: Embroider & Applique with wildboho

I also have a free class for you!

This is a mixed media project that is weekend-sized. Perfect for gifting to your favorite teacher or even creating for yourself! It’s also a great project to share with kids/teens and create it together. It involves painting and embroidery and I take you through all the steps you need to learn to create a beautiful floral piece of art!

I’ve been adding lots of videos to my YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe and be notified whenever I add something new!

Here are a few links to some of my most recent videos:

I also have several in-person classes coming up! I’ll be in Maine this summer for A Gathering of Stitches Slow Stitching Retreat and I’ll be at Needles & Bolts in Philadelphia, PA for a Floral Encrusted Embroidery class in October!

And now for news on my book, Needles Out!

There have, of course, been production delays along the way, but I can finally say that it (for real!) will be coming out this spring/summer! I’ll be getting my official copies in May and there are two shops I’ve been working with to get you physical copies sooner rather than later! If you pre-order on amazon, you’ll get it in this summer. If you pre-order from Needles & Bolts or Hand Craft Happy Hour, you should have it even sooner! And of course, I always love to hear that you’ve requested it at your local library or quilt shop! (Thank you so much for that!!)

So there is the latest from my desk and I hope you have lots of links (and stitching!) to keep you busy!

I also am on Substack and send out lovely little posts from there more regularly. Like my most recent correspondence from The Stabbed Stitchers Department. I couldn’t resist a little nod to Taylor.

Happy spring and happy stitching from my hands to yours!

Recently I posed a question to my Instagram audience asking what sort of classes they would like to see and overwhelmingly I was asked for a class on fabric collage with a run-time of less than 2 hours.

I was really happy to see that because fabric collage is my first fiber love. It is how wildboho got started all those years ago…way back in 2011!

So I was more than happy to put together a fabric collage class within that timeframe! I’m listing this class slightly differently this time around. You can find it in my Patreon shop, however, you do not need to be a member to purchase the class! BUT, if you are a member of the Sequins tier, the class and all sorts of other goodies will be free for you!

Check out the class HERE.

And if you want to preview the class, check out the trailer HERE!

I hope if you take this class, you will soon love fabric collage as much as I do! And don’t forget to share pics with me on Facebook or Instagram…I love to see what you’re working on!

Get those needles out and let’s get stitching!

This month I am excited to share 2 brand new online workshops!

The latest and greatest is the Pumpkin Patch Embroidery Stitch sampler! Check out the preview of this class here.

I’m calling this one a mini class because the focus is solely on embroidery. We will learn 14 stitches with a concentration on fill stitches and creating three layers of embroidery. It is an entirely new concept that I’m excited to teach you!

The class has a runtime of approximately 2-1/2 hours and you can find tickets here. This class does not expire and you can take your time stitching it up!

My second class, Needle Felting and Embroidery is fiber arts based. You will learn how to needle felt a Dahlia pattern that I have created and then you will learn to embroider your project.

You can check out the preview of this class here.

With this class, I have loved creating two of my favorite forms of fiber art into one project! This class also has a runtime of approximately 2-1/2 hours. With your ticket purchase, you will receive the pattern, supply list and all of the links for the class which do not expire.

You can find tickets for that class here.

If you choose one of these classes, be sure to share pics with me on Instagram or Facebook!

Now get those needles out and let’s start stitching!

Just popping into your early August day to let you know that I’ll be teaching a (very small!) in-person workshop in the Bucks County/Philadelphia area!

Here is the link for the class: https://www.needlesandbolts.com/module/class/504243/guest-instructor-nichole-vogelsinger-wildboho–floral-encrusted-embroidery

It will be held at Needles & Bolts, an adorable quilt shop in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, on November 4, 2023.

I’m also excited to let you know that I’ll be doing a book-signing after my workshop of my newest book: Needles Out!

Now, get back to your day and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Happy Stitching!

I have opened up the sign-ups to both of my online embroidery classes for one more week! If you are looking to get started in embroidery or if you want to dabble in dimensional embroidery, then one or both of these classes are for you!

First up is the Dimensional Embroidery Sampler workshop. This is a 2-1/2 hour class that you can take at your own pace. The link does not expire, and so you can stop and start it as much as you need to! You will learn 17 stitches in 4 different categories: Basic, Decorative Line, Isolated and Woven. I will also show you how to add sequins and beads to your piece of embroidery.

Next up is the Floral Stumpwork Embroidery workshop. This class has a running time of nearly 3 hours but is meant to be worked on at your own pace and it will take you longer than the 3-hour class. This link also does not expire, allowing you to stop and start and work at your own pace! You will focus on adding dimension to your embroidery with this class and can create a simple collage piece or a piece loaded with dimension!

Both classes are available until July 31, so grab your spots now! Be sure to check out the FAQ’s on the ticket pages and you can click on the links to read even more about the class!

If you have already signed up, be sure to share pics with me of your progress!

And be sure to check out my latest YouTube videos! I’ve continued to create shopping videos, where I will take you to local (and not-so-local) fabric, fiber and bead shops!

Also, I have previewed each of the brand new Yazzii bags that will be available for pre-order in the US on September 1st! Check out that video here.

Happy summer-ing (and stitching!)

School just wrapped up here and so it finally feels like we have a summer stretching before us! Yes, I know how fast it will fly by, but let me just pretend that it is an endless amount of time!!!

I’m adding lots to my own summer to-do list, and one of those to-dos is to keep bringing you a brand new stitch tutorial every Sunday! As a stitcher who sometimes even references her own stitching videos (yes, I really do!!), I appreciate a clear and concise stitch tutorial and so that is what I am creating for you!

Most recently, I have shared the Chain Stitch, the Woven Cross Stitch (one of my favorites!), the Oyster Stitch (a great alternative to a single or double Lazy Daisy), the Feather Stitch and the Stem Stitch. Be sure to check them out and let me know if there is a stitch you’d like me to add a tutorial for!

Here is the complete stitch playlist!

And if you want something a little more focused for your summer project, be sure to check out my latest workshop, available for purchase just this month! Once you purchase Floral Stumpwork Embroidery, you will have unlimited access (that does not expire!) to the class so you can start at any time and take as long as you need to complete your project!

Here is a preview to check it out: Floral Stumpwork Embroidery Workshop. And here is the link with all of the additional information: Online Workshop with Nichole Vogelsinger.

And here is another (smaller!!) sample of what you can create with this class, which is great for all levels of embroiderers!

Happy stitching to all of you and thanks always for your support!

Now get those needles out and lets get stitching!

The unofficial start of summer is officially here as we flip our calendars to June 1st! And I just can’t think of a better way to welcome summer than to release my brand new Floral embroidery workshop!

If you took my previous virtual workshop, you’ll notice that this one is in a different format: YouTube vs Zoom. While I love zoom for live classes, recording it on YouTube has allowed me to break this class into manageable sections, which will allow you to much more easily pause the class while you work on each step of the project.

You’ll find all of the class info here which also includes a preview video and a list of FAQs!

Floral Stumpwork Embroidery is a great way to learn a technique that you can then add to other embroidery or handwork projects. Perfect for beginners as well as those already familiar with embroidery, it will teach you how to add dimension to your work. And bonus…you don’t need lots of fabric for this project! It is a great way to use your pretty scraps of quilting fabric, apparel fabric and even lace and felt!

I’m so excited to share this with you and I hope you enjoy it!

If your travel plans include the East Coast at any point, be sure to check out my new series: Shop with wildboho on YouTube! I will take you along with me as I visit quilt, bead and fiber shops. Plan your visit with these helpful videos or just be nosey and check out shops as I visit them!!

My first visit was to Pennington Quilt Works in Pennington, NJ and my second was to Owl Be Beading in Bethlehem, PA. Stay tuned as I have lots more in the works!

Now get those needles out and let’s get stitching!!

I created a new project and I’m excited to put this tutorial out into the wilds of YouTube!

If you are looking for a last-minute gift or a weekend project that will let you delve into mixed-media embroidery, then look no further! My latest video, Painted Floral Bouquet on Fabric, will be just that project.

This is one of my favorite gift ideas, because each hoop that I make is different from the last one. It can be personalized for you or your recipient and it works up fairly quickly. This week, I created 3 different hoops and I’m going to finish stitching the final one today.

Did I mention that teacher appreciation week is coming up? This would be a great gift for teachers and you can even enlist the help of your child(ren) and make the gift even more meaningful to their teacher. Take that one step further and have your kids help create a hoop that you can hang on your wall (or give to a relative!) and it will keep longer than fresh flowers!!

I hope you enjoy this tutorial. If you create a hoop, leave me a message or tag me in your Facebook or Instagram post…I love to see what is created from my classes!

And in case you missed it, I have an ongoing free mini-class: Encrusted Beadwork on my YouTube channel. Every week I am posting a new video with fresh ideas for the beadwork project I am working on. Work alongside me and create your own piece of art!

Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel so that you get my updates as soon as they are released!

Speaking of Needles Out, don’t forget my newest book is available for preorder now!

Hello and happy spring!

I’m hoping to have my newest self-paced class up for purchase at the beginning of May but until then, I wanted to offer up a (FREE!!!) special mini-class for all of my YouTube subscribers!

Part 01 is all about gathering the supplies that you’ll need for this project so that you can be prepared for pt 02 which will be out on Wednesday!

If you aren’t a subscriber yet, head on over and subscribe so you don’t miss a video!

And for more embroidery goodies, every Sunday I post a new embroidery video on my YouTube channel. Yesterday was the cast-on stitch, which is a great way to add some whimsical texture into your embroidery.

The playlist of all of my stitches can be found here.

And here is the cast-on stitch for your stitching enjoyment!
