Thank you so much for helping me build this community, teaching new stitchers and spreading the joy to all! I adore what I do and I'm so grateful for you all. I was so excited this week to find out that we had been shortlisted in a variety of categories for the Best of Craft Awards 2020!
When voting (open to UK residents only), you could WIN a weekend break for two in Scotland, a Crafter's Companion bundle worth £150 and for everyone who votes, you'll automatically receive a digital pack full of festive papers, projects and printables to get you in the Christmas spirit!
When I started this cross stitch kit business in 2015, I could only dream of being included in a shortlist alongside some of my favourite inspirational craft brands.
So you can imagine how excited I was this week to learn that both myself and Caterpillar Cross Stitch had been shortlisted in seven separate categories for the Best of Craft Awards 2020!

Being crafters, we're constantly searching for the next project to satisfy our creative needs. But have you ever stopped and wondered when and how the craft we all love so much began? Elements of cross stitch can be found in history for thousands of years, as far back as sixth century BC. Pieces of needlecraft art have been discovered in medieval churches across the globe, as well as inside ancient Egyptian tombs!
Our splash-tastic Ocean Wonder box comes with all of the fantastic quality supplies needed to create a cross stitch project, along with a 6" Elbesee wooden hoop, a delicious sweet treat and useful cross stitch supplies.
When it comes to cross stitching, there are just two types you will come across: stamped cross stitch and counted cross stitch. The two have similar outputs, but the process will differ in some ways. It can be difficult to know which option to choose, so use this helpful guide to help decide which is best for you!
