Dear Cross Stitchers,

Well, here we are again, half term holidays and rain! When are we going to get the sun that the rest of you have had?

We have been very busy sorting through all the post cards from the 'Giveaway' in Cross Stitch Crazy. We had well over 300 entries from all over the world. We would like to thank everyone who took part. Although this one has finished there is still chance to enter the Cross Stitcher Giveaway (see below).

Our new brochures are now available. If you would like some for your friends or colleagues who don't have internet access, please send an e-mail with your address and we'll post them to you or we can send them one direct if you forward their address details.

Happy Stitching - Linda

New Designs are on the way!

'Bob' has been personally designed to a customers' requirements.

Who's Dad do you think this is?

We'll give you a clue, it's one of the boys on our alphabet chart! (see below for answer)

He is the first in our range of adult figures. Joy will be designing a full range of adult figures. So if you have any ideas or requests, please let us know.

You can order any special requests via our e-mail service.

Alternatively let us design a card for you, we will transpose figures from one letter to another and chart your personal message.
