** UPDATE - we only have 1 kit left  - does it have YOUR name on it? **

We are very excited to introduce our 2025 Stitch-a-Long (SAL), The Sampler book of Embroidery Stitches. Designed by Amy McClellan from Under the Green Moon.

Stitch has secured the LAST 60 kits, so if you love this project, don't delay, when they are gone, they are really gone!

We do love a book at Stitch but books that are made from stitches are our favourite type of book. Why? This is not another project that requires expensive framing and hanging on your limited wall space & it is not another needlecase/pincushion/cushion, but a useful and beautiful, tactile piece of embroidery to treasure, to use and to hand down to the next generation.

We will spread the 12 components of the book into 10 mail outs from early February to November, of course if you live close enough you can choose to come in and collect your monthly pack otherwise we can post them to you.

** If you live overseas, please contact us for a quote to post to your country.

And how much will this gorgeous heirloom and hours of fun cost? Just $40 per month over 10 months as per the below payment schedule.

Deposit $250 to secure your spot
Balance $150 due late January prior to the first month's release
Postage if required or you can collect from Stitch
