July 2005 - NEWSLETTER

Dear Cross Stitchers,

I've promised Joy I wouldn't tell anyone, but I'm going to let you into a little secret anyway! Joy is getting married this month - 16th July to her partner Steve. I've tried to talk her out of it several times but she just won't have it (only joking). Good Luck to you both from all the readers and me of course!

We are very pleased to launch the first in a series of Bag Kits. The Ballet Bag is the first but there are a lot more to come! Joy is currently working on the next (in between getting married) which hopefully will be ready for next months newsletter.

We would also like to send our best wishes to Cindy & Mick who are getting married on the 16th July too.

Kathryn didn't want a traditional sampler as it was second time around for both.

Our samplers are particularly suited to second weddings particularly when either partner has children.

New Kit!

Ballet Bag Kit

Price: £ 24.25 (plus p&p)

This natural cotton calico drawstring bag measures 32cm (W) x 43cm (H). The lower side and bottom seams are left unstitched so you can easily attach your completed sampler.

The cross stitch is worked on 14 Count Cream Aida.

Chart is provided so you can easily add your chosen name.

Summer Holidays are on their way !

Why not take one of our kits on holiday !

You could take a single letter Tote Bag Kit. The letter would fit easily into a hoop. Our designs are so detailed, you will have plenty to keep you occupied, then stitch it as a pocket to your bag.

Everything you need to make your chosen sampler comes in a small Cottage Needlecrafts Cotton Calico Bag. There is no condensation as with plastic bags, so as you are sat in this wonderful sunshine your silks & fabric stay clean, dry and safe.

Small Tote Bag Kit with single letter.

Price: £18 (plus p&p)
