Welcome!
Hi I’m Tanja Berlin and I design hand embroidery and beading patterns for other needlework enthusiasts to stitch.
My designs are created by hand and my imagination, no AI or digital generation is used.
Many hours go into creating my designs, I test stitch all my designs to ensure the colours work and I write detailed instructions so that other needlework enthusiasts can produce the same good quality stitching. I am available to answer your questions via email me as you are working on my designs.
You can follow what I am currently stitching on, on my Facebook Page and Instagram Page.
I hope you find something that inspires you to stitch.

NEW: Awareness For Parkinson’s Disease Fundraiser Kit
I have designed an absolute beginners kit/pattern in beading which will give people a taste of the beading technique and will raise some money for Parkinson’s research.
Read about how Parkinson’s disease effects my life!
The kit will make a great gift for anyone who likes to try crafts and is suitable for people aged 16+ and has detailed step by step instructions with diagrams.
The finished beading will make a lovely personalized gift to give to someone who has Parkinson’s disease to let them know you are thinking about them.
There are several options for finishing the beading: Fridge Magnet, Framed as a Small Picture, Pendant Necklace, Brooch, Bracelet, Bookmark.
The kit of the month for November 2026 is the Hapsburg Lace Snow Flake Sampler.
The lacy stitches are worked in Perle cotton on 18 count mono canvas. It is an easy technique, great for all level of stitches and can be worked in the hand in your most comfy chair (no frame necessary).
Beppy Berlin Needlework Gallery
Beppy Berlin is my mother who greatly inspired me to stitch and to become a designer.
Mum loved trying out lots of needlework techniques and was a part time teacher for over 50 years. She stitched small designs and enjoyed showing others how to stitch, she inspired people and made many friends through teaching needlework.
This gallery shows some of the needlework pieces that mum has stitched over the last 50 years. I will be adding more pictures in the future.
Updated October 13th 2026: I have added some more of my mom’s needlework embroideries to the gallery some of which are available for purchase.
USA Customers: There are NO Duty/Tariffs to the USA on my mom’s needlework.
