I like to think that One Off Needlework is not just about cushions!  

So as 2012 is the Diamond Jubilee year and the Olympics year, to get the celebrations really going, we now have Bunting.
There is still plenty of time to stitch these six flags to string up for a party or to cheer along the athletes at the Olympic Games.

We have two new designs to mark the Jubilee – a Counted Cross-Stitch Sampler and  a Tapestry version.
Our new range of Christmas Stockings was designed to appeal to children, and what better time than now, to start stitching ready for next Christmas.  There two new designs, Starry Stocking in three different colourways, and Red Stocking;  so there are really four new stockings altogether!  Lots of Colour, Sparkle, Father Christmas and Presents. Do have a look at the Christmas Stocking page where there are stockings for adults as well.

Once finished, if you want help making up your stocking tapestry, we can do that for you! The details are here.

Our two new cushions – Home Patch and Mosaic Hearts were launched last year and have been very popular. Both full of colour and richness and stitched on 10 count canvas, so the are quick, easy and fun to do.

I have also been thrilled at the success of Colouring In.  It is a brand new idea for helping children learn to enjoy stitching. Six Small Tapestry Kits designed to appeal to girls and boys.
Children are creative beings and these new kits give them a fabulous chance to stitch a tapestry and, using their natural imagination, make it entirely their own. It certainly won’t be a case of the child watching Mum doing it for them.  With these kits, the child is in charge from the start.   Do take a look at Colouring In

Wool supply problems are gradually improving although not gone away completely.  We are managing to cope by ordering vast quantities when a shade comes back, to keep us going as long as possible. This is working at present although I suspect other designers are doing the same, so shades quickly disappear again.  But now at least they are reappearing a little more quickly.

Enjoy your stitching
