A Collection Close to Our Hearts: The Tumbling Blocks Needlepoint Designs

At Unwind Studio, every collection we create has a purpose, but this one is truly special. It’s not just another release!! For us, it’s the realization of a long-held dream, a tribute to our beginning, and a celebration of the journey that brought us here (more specifically Cristina). Today, we are so proud to welcome the Tumbling Blocks Needlepoint Collection to our shop! Let us tell you more about this:

A Design That Sparked a Dream

If you’ve been following our journey, you already know that our founder, Cristina, rediscovered her love for needlepoint during her maternity leave. What you may not know is that the very first project that reignited her passion was a tumbling blocks design. Sitting down with her needle and thread, she found herself longing for modern, fresh designs that resonated with her aesthetic and her generation’s taste. But those designs were nowhere to be found at the time. That realization planted a seed-the idea that the needlepoint world was lacking something new, something contemporary, something vibrant.

That small but powerful moment eventually led to the creation of Unwind Studio. Since then, we’ve launched hundreds of modern designs, helping fellow stitchers discover pieces they truly connect with. And yet, amidst all these creations, there was always one collection we knew we had to bring to life—the one that started it all!

The Tumbling Blocks Collection is not just another set of needlepoint designs. It’s a full-circle moment. It’s a love letter to the design that reignited a passion, to the courage to chase a dream, and to the incredible community of stitchers who have joined us along the way. For Cristina, this collection represents the audacity to leap into the unknown, leave her old job for good, trust her creativity, and build something truly remarkable, becoming a full-time business owner.

A Modern Take on a Timeless Pattern

With this collection, we’re reimagining the tumbling blocks motif in a way that’s unmistakably Unwind Studio: bold, contemporary, and effortlessly stylish.

We’ve created four new designs, each available in a range of carefully curated color palettes, ensuring there’s (hopefully) something for every taste. Whether you prefer classic neutrals, vibrant pops of color, or soothing pastels, we're confident you’ll find a design that's truly "you"!

These tumbling designs are available as clutches, cushions, or 20x20cm/7.9x7.9in, so you can choose the perfect way to bring them into your life. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece for your home, a stylish handmade accessory, or a meaningful gift, this collection has something special for you.

We hope you find the design that really speaks to you, and that when you stitch one of these designs, you’ll feel connected not just to the beauty of the pattern, but also to the journey that made it possible. This collection is deeply personal to us, and we hope it becomes personal to you, too.
