Welcome to our July newsletter.

We are keen to develop a monthly newsletter which our customers will look forward to receiving and which you will have played a part in developing. From our point of view, we would like to tell you about new designs which we have added to our range, our free monthly prize draws and special offers where you can make savings against your cross-stitch purchases.

However, more than this we would like to give you the chance to tell us what you would like to read about so that the newsletter becomes a vehicle for swapping ideas and generating a community spirit amongst our customers.

For example, we could create a “Designer of the Month” section to enable all of us to learn more about the talented people who create all these exciting new projects for us to stitch. We could also run a “Tips & Advice” section whereby we could include your tips for other stitchers to benefit from or post your questions or queries to enable you to get help.

So, tell us what sort of features you would like to see – email your ideas to stitch@country-designs.co.uk we will collate your suggestions for publication in our next newsletter.

We have been running a 3 for 2 offer on our chart, fabric & threads packs for the last two weeks. Many of our customers have already taken advantage of this superb offer. The great news is that we have decided to extend this offer until 31st July 2006. Click here for more details.

In addition to this superb 3 for 2 offer we are also launching our July FREE Stitcher’s Goodie Bag promotion. If you spend £15 or more in our Charts and Booklets or our Chart, Fabric & Threads sections of our website, we will send you a FREE Stitcher’s Goodie Bag worth £15.00. Click here for more details.

These amazing offers also qualify for our unique Collector’s Club points scheme so you can save money on future orders as well!

Our current free monthly prize draw ends on 10th July 2006. The prize gives all our customers who have registered on our site the chance to win some of our Chart, Fabric & Threads packs to the value of £75.00. So, be sure to keep checking to see if you are the lucky winner.

The winner of our previous draw was Mrs M Judd of Lincoln who won an annual subscription to two of our American magazine publications.

We have recently added some fantastic new designs from Mystic Stitch. These designs include 12 magnificent Birthstone portraits from the fantasy artist Maxine Gadd. Each portrait is approximately 8 x 13” and can be stitched on White fabric.

Over the next four/six weeks we will be purchasing our new Autumn/Winter designs and we will be adding these products to our site as they come in. At this time we always increase our stocks of Christmas projects and in our next newsletter we will give you more details of our exciting new products.
