BOX TREE COTTAGE DESIGNS

NURSERY RHYMES

Blackwork has been used since at least Elizabethan days, and we thought it could be incorporated into contemporary cross stitch designs for a completely new look. So Miss Muffet, Humpty Dumpty and Hey Diddle Diddle came into being. They are really easy to stitch and the result is very rewarding.

Only black and one other colour are used in each design, and of course the colours can be changed. They make quite a big picture when stitched, about 16 by 18 inches, but we think they are worth the trouble. Each chart is £7.99, posting arrangements and ordering as above. Again, we should be delighted to receive helpful suggestions for future designs! We are currently looking at ‘Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary’ and the old woman who lived in a shoe.

Good luck with your stitching and we should love to hear what you think of these new charts.
