Sally creates, by hand in Warwickshire UK, modern cross stitch kits, stitch-a-long projects, needle minders and cross stitch patterns you won't find elsewhere! Kits come in a variety of colour options, many available for full personalisation and come with pre-sorted DMC threads on a strong card 'Carlos the Caterpillar' thread holder!

The name Caterpillar Cross Stitch was chosen because The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of our favourite childhood books, its memorable and we love some alliteration! We also believe that the process of cross stitching is a lot like the change of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly! A slow, patient transformation into a precious, bright piece of art to keep for generations to come.

Customer Testimonials

The Grace Wreath (Monogram) kit arrived the day after I ordered it and is as beautiful as I imagined it would be. Thank you. H. Elliott

I searched the Internet high and low for a cross stitch to do for my friend's new baby. I was so bored of all 'old, dated' patterns, so was very pleased when I came across this. Beautiful colours. Very easy to follow. Really pleased :) Lauren P.

You are awesome! I have purchased the pattern. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me. Haley H.

This cross stitch is beautiful, timeless and will match perfectly with any decor. Thank you Sally for sending the kits safely to Australia and for your care and excellent customer service throughout the process. Jayne K.

I asked a few questions before purchasing and I got a quick reply. Super fast delivery. The design is really modern and different to anything else I have seen. Its going to be the perfect gift for my god-daughters christening. Thanks. Gillian N.
