Over the last few weeks, we have added a large number of stunning new designs from our favourite designers.  Dyan Allaire of  Kustoms Krafts has been extremely prolific of late and we have added more than a dozen designs to our already extensive Kustoms Kraft’s range.  Check out her magnificent White Peacocks – we are sure you will be amazed.

We have also added more than twenty new designs from the Cross Stitch Pattern Gallery including exciting Art Deco projects like Girl on a Bicycle and The Rose Maid, a superb Christmas design called Santa’s Deer Friends and five brilliant adaptations from the work of Alan Maley - we now have eight stunning designs in this series, check them out by clicking here.

Kelly Morgante of Mystic Stitch has also been busy producing her marvellous adaptations of the works of famous artists.  We have recently added over twenty of her designs and there are plenty more planned in the coming weeks.  We particularly like Molly & Sugar Bear and Special Delivery from the artwork of Janet Kruskamp.

DMC Colour Variations – give yourself a palette of colours in one thread

DMC has recently launched a beautiful range of multi-colour threads called Colour Variations.  There are twenty-four exquisite colours in the range.  They are 100% cotton and there are eight metres in each skein.

From the first few stitches DMC Colour Variation threads reveal a range of beautiful colours all irresistible and working in harmony together.  Every six to seven stitches each thread reveals a succession of different colours which are unique on each needlework project.  The vibrant colours add volume and a delicate aspect to your creations.
