DESIGNS

CROSS STITCH SAMPLER - Finished size = 23cm x 18cm - bring Christmas to your home each year by hanging our Santa sampler. Worked on unbleached linen in bright colours, it is easy to stitch due to the few colour changes. A strikingly simple yellow pattern borders the sampler while the piece is displayed in a wide green timber frame.

APPLIQUE WALLHANGING - Finished size = approx. 52cm x 40cm - Simple shapes combine with strong colours to give the feeling of Christmas in this naïve wallhanging. Buttons are used as a decorative feature while the Christmas message is handworked in backstitch. The hanging has been stitched to a decorative wire hanger for display.

WOODEN SANTA AND TREE - Finished size = stands 23cm high including base - Our Santa and his tree have become three dimensional with this charming wood piece which can stand on your shelf or mantel. Made from three pieces of Craftwood the shapes are glued to a base after being painted.

STENCILLED CHRISTMAS STATIONERY - Finished size = approx. 52 x 40cm - The best country gift packages are simple brown paper bags and papier mache boxes. Stencil them with our Santa and Tree motif and use sheets of handmade paper in subtle colours for your personalised Christmas cards. We stencilled with paint crayons which are easier to apply than traditional paint, they don’t drip or run and give clear sharp edges to your design. Once you have the stencil cut, it’s quick and easy to create your entire range of Christmas stationery and economical too.

AN ANIMAL GARLAND - Whether you live in the country of the city, a small flat or a large rambling house, bring a little bit of rural charm to your home by making our animal garland. Hang it above a window, across a dresser or mantel, or at the foot of a child’s bed to celebrate the wonderful world of animals. You can make it as long or as short as you like. The four simple shapes can be either hand or machined sewn and filled with a thin wadding then outline quilted to give them extra dimension. Tied together with fine satin ribbons our animal garland is a quick and easy project for all.

SPATTER PAINTED FIRESCREEN - The technique of spatter painting over ferns was popular in the late nineteenth century and was often used to decorate chests, tables, screens and cutlery boxes. The panels of our Spatter Painted firescreen were painted by this easy method. Use it to paint any wooden article which has a large enough area to accommodate a pleasing arrangement of the ferns. The frame of the screen was given a distressed finish by rubbing back the blue paint to reveal an undercoat of green, the final finish being polished with fine steel wool and beeswax.

STARS OF BLUE QUILT TO STITCH - The sawtooth star pattern is a favourite with quilters and the pretty combination of blue and white fabrics adds to the appeal of our Stars of Blue quilt. Margaret Rolfe has designed this project as an introduction to fast new piecing techniques, explaining step by step how to cut, stitch and quilt the speediest way. This superb quilt illustrates how easy it is to enjoy the beauty of traditional patchwork, in no time at all.

DELIGHTFUL OLD-FASHIONED TEA CLOTH TO STITCH - Finished size = 95cm square - Our delightful old fashioned tea cloth is reminiscent of leisurely teas on summer afternoons, replete with tea cakes, scones and dainty biscuits. In the style of embroidered cloths of earlier this century, our pretty floral design is worked in simple crewel stitches, long and short, satin, stem stitch, French knots and chain stitch. We used Art Silk threads which have rich vibrant colours and a lovely sheen. Claire Hall designed and stitched the cloth with a motif inspired by her Royal Grafton china tea-set. Use the same colours of select your own for an individual look.

Although preloved, this fantastic craft book is still in very good condition, especially for its, being very clean and legible (apart from the occasional very tiny mark), having NO creasing or folds, rips or tears, writing, scribble or notes. The front and back covers, along with the spine are also in very good, sturdy condition, just displaying some minimal bookshelf wear due to storage - see scans. I am especially over critical of my books, trying to note as many details as possible - as I know how important even minor details are for collectors/buyers.
