Ballerina

BallerinaIf you love the grace and elegance of ballet, or have a budding ballerina in the family, this would be the ideal kit.

It is from the Lanarte Romantic Collection and is stitched on a very soft green linen which blends beautifully with the colours of the stranded cotton provided.

Other kits featuring Dance can be found here.

Toy Shelf Birth Record

I think there must be a lot of new babies around at the moment as we are selling lots of birth samplers, but this one, called Toy Shelf, seems to be one of the most popular.

Toy ShelfIt comes from Dimensions in their Baby Hugs range and is stitched on 14 count aida. The kit includes stranded cotton, fabric, chart, needle and instructions and is supplied with pink and blue thread, alphabet and numbers for personalising.

John Clayton Internationals

Venice

This is a stunning collection of scenes from around the world.

There are currently 24 designs available featuring Paris, Rome, Venice, Taj Mahal, Golden Gate Bridge, Great Wall of China and lots more.

Why not stitch your favourite place, or a destination you dream of visiting one day! My favourite is Venice - all I need is the time to stitch it!

They are only 31cm x 11cm, so would brighten up a dull corner or an alcove.

The Linnypin Collection

Percy PenguinThis is a new range, currently featuring four knitted toys - Sally Sheep, Percy Penguin, Bruno Bear and Daizy Duck.

The kit contains soft yarn, knitting needles, ribbon, safety eyes, sewing needle and thread, fleece and full working instructions. The end result is a snuggle-soft cuddly toy.
