Lynne’s Links ~ Johnson Crafts

We have just added a new range of products by Framecraft. It is just a small selection at the moment, but we will be adding more over the coming weeks.

There are lots of accessories to show off your own cross stitch designs, such as keyrings, rulers, paperweight, handbag mirror and a door finger plate. These would all make great presents and will not take too long to stitch.

There is a set of 6 coasters with butterfly designs, available individually. 12 miniature boxes feature cross stitch zodiac designs, and would make an unusual container for a small jewellery gift.

The range also includes Chart Sets, Christmas cards and a selection of cards for various celebrations, including a wedding card complete with 2 rings.

We have a fantastic deal on DMC stranded cotton at the moment. The price is reduced to 36p per skein, which is almost half the RRP.

The bobbin storage boxes are also on offer, so don’t miss this chance to stock up on threads and get them organised.

DMC have produced a new cross stitch chart booklet featuring Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger, together with some of their other friends.

There are fifty pages of large and small charts, together with ideas for using them on aprons, cushions and nursery items. There are also some ideas for games.

I was contacted a few weeks ago by someone who wanted to convert a family photograph into a cross stitch kit and wondered if there was a way of doing it.

I suggested she should look at the DMC Stitch A Photo kit. The kit includes a pre-addressed envelope for your chosen photograph. Allow about 28 days and they will send you an easy to follow chart, along with your original photograph and easy to follow instructions.
