About Us

Thank you for visiting our site, please take some time to look around.  We have selected the types of designs that appeal to us, so we hope they appeal to you! These range from some of the most beautiful and magical designs such as Mirabilia, Nora Corbett, Lavender & Lace and Bella Filipina to cute characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Peanut the Elephant and a wide range of Mill Hill cross stitch/beading kits.

So, we hope that you find something that appeals to you but if there is something you really want that we don’t stock, please don’t hesitate to contact us as we can pretty much kit up any chart for you. We pride ourselves on good customer service and we’re always happy to help if we can.

Happy stitching!

Product range

We specialise in complete kits for large designs such as Mirabilia, Lavender & Lace, Nora Corbett and most recently, Bella Filipina.  Our kits contain all the items, as recommended by the designers, needed to complete the designs including fabric, DMC threads, specialist threads, beads and embellishments.  We supply complete skeins of DMC threads needed for the designs, complete skeins/cards of specialist threads, full boxes of beads and embellishments that are required, plus needles for stitching and beading. So, when you purchase a kit from us it is complete and ready to go!

As we realise that stitchers love stash and so could have some things ‘in stock’, we also offer these kits in four other formats besides the complete kit:
  • without fabric – the kit contains all the DMC threads, specialist threads, beads, embellishments, needles and the chart for you to use with your own fabric
  • without the DMC skeins – the kit contains the fabric, specialist threads, beads, embellishments, needles and the chart for you to use with your own DMC threads
  • without the chart – if you already have the chart, you can purchase everything else from us to make up your kit. This is also true for other charts you may have as we are able to put together a kit from almost any chart
  • without the fabric and the chart – this contains the DMC threads, specialist threads, beads and embellishments ONLY.

We also stock a range of cute characters, from Peanut the Elephant to Winnie the Pooh and some other unusual or unique ranges of designs that appeal to us, including a wide range of Mill Hill cross stitch/beading kits covering Christmas, Halloween and everything in between!  These are complete kits, supplied pre-packaged from the manufacturer.  Again, we are quite selective about what we stock – not everything makes it onto the list!
