WELCOME! Fibers & Floss Canada (Arica) and The Hygge Stitcher (Samantha) come together today in sharing a special treat with you. In celebration of Mira May (thank you Lisa with@CrossedbyFloss for creating this special event), we wanted to share our knowledge of Mirabilia Cross Stitch in hopes of enabling more stitchers to join in the experience of "Stitching a Mira". We will be releasing a 2 part special with Part 1 airing May 01, 2024 and part 2 on May 15, 2024.

We have both stitched patterns by Nora Corbett since the very beginning! We were 14 and 15 years old, visiting our LNS for the first time and started stitching together long into the wee hours of the mornings. Our stitching time together are by far some of our most treasured moments we have shared in life. Please join us while we discuss everything Mirabilia!
