Project Guides

  Creative ways to display cross stitch and needlepoint

Select Currency


These useful and informative project booklets were developed in order to help show how to incorporate your cross stitch and needlepoint - tapestry into decorative items for yourself or lovely gifts for family and friends. Although all Spotted Skink designs look delightful when framed, these projects aim to show that even the smallest piece of stitchwork can become something very special with a little extra time and creativity. All guides give full instructions together with illustrations, however we encourage you to personalise your work. Try adding simple embroidery, appliqué, tiny bows, beads or trims that reflect the colours and style of the stitched design.
