Why choose Spotted Skink?

Creative satisfaction
that lasts

Applique and Patchwork

Have you been thinking about a new form of craft or needlework?

We've made it simple and cost effective to try both cross stitch and needlepoint.

LITTLE GEM ► cross stitch charts are designs creative enough to wet your appetite, yet easy and small enough to stitch within a short time.

If you’d like to try a needlepoint design for the first time, why not select one from our CROSS POINT ► chart range. The colour wash behind the symbols makes these charts even easier to follow. You also have the option of stitching the same design in cross stitch.

Our optional, inexpensive STITCHING GUIDES ►, developed for beginners and to accompany Spotted Skink charts, explain clearly how to ‘get stitching’.

Are you looking for new inspiration?

We’ve created some fresh opportunities.

For more experienced stitchers some Spotted Skink needlepoint kits include sewing instructions to turn your stitchwork into cushions and pillows with a difference or even a little girl’s nightdress/PJ case.

There are also CROSS STITCH KITS ► that go on to become attractive mobiles and bookmarks.

For further imaginative ideas take a look at our PROJECT GUIDES ►.

We want you to enjoy your stitching experience and feel a real sense of pride with the finished result. We also know that quality is important to you, so there are a few special things we’d like you to know.
