elcome to our latest Catalogue of Cross Stitch designs by Michael Powell. Mike has been designing now for 9 years and his portfolio and range continues to grow. His designs are based on his love of Buildings and Architecture, Gardens and the Countryside and his many trips abroad.
His original paintings, normally created in pen and ink and watercolour are then translated into various needlework designs, whether it be cross stitch or tapestry.

Our designs cater for everyone, from the beginner to the most experienced of stitchers. The materials are of the best quality, and each kit includes either Aida or Even weave fabric, pre-sorted thread cards, needle and instructions. The charts and instructions are clear and very easy to understand and all kits come with a separate backstitch chart.

Mike has introduced, for the first time, a range of quirky Button-kits. These allow the stitcher to become the artist and once the design is complete, they have the option of where to place their buttons to finish off their scene. These innovative new designs can be found on page 3 and sit well alongside his full range of Mini kits, Bookmarks, Little Gems and of course his many other designs.
This new catalogue will take you on a journey, covering all corners of the United Kingdom and some favourite holiday destinations in Europe. Why not travel through some quaint Cottage Gardens, stop off in an English Village before heading into a Spanish Hilltown, Greek Village or the hustle and bustle of Venice. New designs include River Cottage, Railway Cottages and Myrtle Cottage and are on page 8 Mike’s range of Samplers is now growing. New designs of a Garden Sampler and a Home Sampler sit well on page 23 with our ever popular Wedding Sampler and still to come Anniversary Sampler.
Why not treat yourself or a friend to a Bookmark Kit – Our range of 8 can be found on page 4 and include Hearts, Flowers, Vases and 4 dramatic scenes.
Mike’s range of Cross Stitch kits are now very well established in the market place, and offer the stitcher something very different and also the opportunity to create something very special – their very own piece of Art. Our thanks goes to Julia for her charting, design expertise and her extreme patience, to Sally for her ability to organise the office and be a great sounding board, and to of course, our customers, whose loyalty is immense and unwavering. All our designs should be available from your local stockist. For a list of stockists please call 029 2049 6000.

These unique and quirky Button Kits allow the stitcher to become the artist. Once the stitching is completed, bring your piece to life by adding 2 fun buttons to your design. Use your imagination and have your Fish swimming in and out of the seaweed or bobbing near the surface, your Birds can be feeding from the birdhouse or nestling in the trees and your beautiful Bumble Bees can be heading for the Hive or still be gathering pollen from the flowers. Kits are stitched on 14 count Aida and buttons are included.
