[01.07.09] July sees four new designs for the summer. Two Latin American dancers join our existing ballroom dancers by John Clayton, and also from John is another addition to his Circles range - Bonnie Prince Charlie's Monument. From Peter Underhill we have a further addition to the Cats Rule range - Haggis Hunting. You can see all our latest designs here.

[05.06.09] Our first new designs of summer are here! From John Clayton we have a beautiful new addition to his 'Circles' range - Canal Reflections. Tiddles is also back in 'Join Me For Dinner?'. This time he is reaching into a mouse hole, hoping to catch the mouse - but don't worry, his claws won't quite reach! From Susan Ryder, we have a new Special Interest Map - The Trent & Mersey Canal. You can see all our latest designs here.

[30.04.09] New Trade shows announced. In conjunction with The Needlework Trade Group, we are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at three trade shows this summer. For further details please click here. Please note, these are strictly trade only shows.

[29.03.09] New for May are the Calendar Cats. These are based on the artwork of Peter Underhill and are additions to the Cats Rule range. The main design has a cat picture for each month, featuring five cats who are 'real characters', from the pretty Siamese to the rather large tabby who 'doesn't do busy'. Each month is also available as a separate kit with its own saying. We are also delighted to be re-releasing two of our classic narrow boat designs. You can see them here.

[25.02.09] John Clayton has produced two beautiful new designs for us, featuring ballroom dancers. These will be available from mid-March, you can see them to the right. They are part of the John Clayton Collection range.

[16.02.09] Our first new designs of 2009 are now available. 'Georgiana' is the latest addition to John Clayton's ever-popular Elegance range, and John has also produced two stunning larger designs - 'Anne Hathaway's Cottage' and 'Worcester Cathedral'. These are truly beautiful designs, and would make a stunning centrepiece to any room. From Peter Underhill we have two more designs featuring the delightful Tiddles, this time indulging in his healthy diet of fresh fish and poultry... From Valerie Pfeiffer, we have 3 new designs - the final two Seasonal Garlands, and an addition to the Harmonies range.

[08.12.08] We have another new design in the Cats Rule range for this month, again featuring our sinister new cat, Tiddles. No goldfish were harmed in the making of this design...

[09.10.08] For October we have two new additions to the Cats Rule! series by Peter Underhill. 'Kool Kitty' and 'Happy Crisp Mouse', the last one featuring 'Tiddles', a sinister looking character indeed!

[09.07.08] November 11th this year will mark the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War and this is bound to be a most emotional time as it will be the last important anniversary to be within living memory. Malcolm Greensmith and Susan Ryder have worked together to create a wonderful commemorative design to mark this occasion. Called 'Remember', the design shows a soldier against the Union Flag with the words 'When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow we gave our today'. You can see 'Remember' and the rest of Malcolm's wonderful designs here.
