Adventure awaits. World map cross stitch Easy to follow pattern, beautiful colors, outstanding productive.
Sandy A. 5/5 Verified
Such a fun project! I love that each element is just the right size. Big enough to look great on the map but small enough to feel a sense of accomplishment as I keep going around the world!
Tw 5/5 Verified
Beautiful and fun to do! I truly enjoy doing these kits! The colors are beautiful, the designs are whimsical and the instructions easy to follow. I love that they don’t feel like “Grandma’s cross-stitch,” but modern and fun. Highly recommend!
Liz K. 5/5 Verified
Adventure Awaits... I brought the full kit as a gift for my daughter’s birthday in lockdown. Arrived very promptly and looks like a great project. She was very pleased with it and as she won’t be travelling abroad this year, I think she’ll enjoy seeing the sights come to life via cross stitch :blush:
Rasia 5/5 Verified
Easy to follow kit Really like this kit, it has everything you need to get started straight away. I use the original pattern as a template then add my own extra animals in as I go along, very easy to follow.
Hazek 5/5 Verified
Adventure Awaits! What a fun cross stitch to do! It took me a couple of months to figure out what it was and then it was even more interesting to work on and anticipate what would come next! I did substitute the igloo in the Northwest Territories of Canada for my version of the Aurora Borealis but otherwise I followed the instructions. It looks beautiful displayed in my bedroom with its double matting of charcoal gray and cream and its weathered black frame. I look looking at all the little details in the image!

Lovely kit....birthday present for my daughter My daughter had already done one of these kits for a friend as a present so I knew they were good quality. Delivery was fast and instructions, key and silks are excellent. I love the more contemporary design of these kits.
Nicky 5/5 Verified
Great product I ordered this as something to pass the time over an Xmas lockdown and it has become my favourite hobby. I’m absolutely addicted! Looking forward to completing this and getting onto my next one! I am a complete beginner and it’s so easy to follow and quality is fantastic!

First Kit I got this kit as my first big cross-stitch kit and I'm loving it! Everyday I do a little bit more. I'm always looking at the website to see what kit i can buy next
Emily 5/5 Verified
Beautiful and Fun The kit is beautifully done. The instructions are clear and well written. I love that the thread is separated out on the card. This pattern is fun to stitch but easy enough for someone who hasn’t cross stitched in many years.
Lisa S. 5/5 Verified
Michelle M I love stitching Adventure Awaits! Wonderful design and colours. I have been to many of the places on the map and it brings back fond memories! I started stitching as soon as I received it and cannot put it down! Totally hooked!
Michelle M. 5/5 Verified
Adventure Awaits Review Really love the abstract nature of this embroidery. It’s not too tricky but looks really effective and is educational for little ones too. The only problem is the white silk doesn’t show up well on such a light fabric so I bought an off white/cream silk and I think it works much better.
Lesley W. 5/5 Verified
Wonderful kit I’m very pleased with this kit. Good quality materials and excellent pattern. I bought this kit with a Caterpillar Cross-stitch gift voucher from a friend and I am really enjoying getting back into cross stitching. I’m looking forward to trying some of the other designs by Sally, when I’ve finished this project.
Alison B. 5/5 Verified

Amazing quality and stunning design I love this design and the quality is amazing. It has made lockdown just a little easier for me. Thank you Sally and team!
Isobel 5/5 Verified
Lovely design and quality materials Lock-down has given me the time to revisit an old craft so this kit was perfect to get me back into it. Everything was well packaged, the instructions are clear and the materials are good quality. However, the main reason for choosing one of Sally's kits is for the designs - this is a beautiful and well thought out design. I'm about a third of the way through and its looking wonderful. Can't wait to get it framed. (It will be for my daughter's home office as she works in travel).
Janet S. 5/5 Verified

My biggest challenge yet but loving it! I got into cross stitching during lockdown. I’ve done a few small kits and really wanted a bigger challenge. I got introduced to this site by a friend and I’m so glad I was! I’m doing this picture for my brothers birthday who enjoys travelling. It has great clear instructions, lovely colours and beautifully presented. Fast delivery too! I’ve already ordered some more kits to do as Christmas presents! My new fave website, thank you!
Rebecca T. 5/5 Verified
My first challenge! Adventure awaits is my first real cross stitch kit, I'm a complete beginner! It's been nothing but a joy to stitch, everything is so clear on the pattern. It's wonderful to see the map coming together - can't wait to choose my next project! Thank you

Excellent Kit! I received my Adventure Awaits and again am quite impressed with the quality of everything contained in it. Sally puts together the best quality of presorted floss and cloth. The color chart is well done and easy to read.

Adventure Awaits Very pleased with my purchase. Had purchased Seas the Day as a kit and having enjoyed this SAL, so to pass the time between receiving each months chart, purchased it. Very easy charts to follow. Thank You Sally
Deborah B. 5/5 Verified
First time SAL This was my first ever SAL and was a brilliant way to get me back into cross-stitching again, as due to various commitments and new hobbies, cross stitch had taken a kind of back seat, but through this SAL and the help and support from Sally i have found my love for cross stitching again!! I like the fact that it is only a small part each month so to most people it is do-able (unless work commitments get in the way!)
