Lyric Cross-stitch Picture
This personalised piece features lyrics or text chosen by you, hand cross-stitched onto 14- or 16 point white or cream aida.

You may choose a lullaby, wedding song lyrics, Bible /Koran verse, favourite line from a novel, inspirational quotation or almost any other content up to 144 characters.

This piece can be completed in any language using the roman alphabet. Translation of any foreign-language content is required and will be checked before work on your piece begins.

Work is completed with quality cotton threads in whatever colours or shades of one colour that you specify. There is no further incremental charge no matter how many colours you specify.

This work can be ordered framed or unframed. You may wish to order the work unframed if you intend to send this item overseas as a gift.


Family Additions Pin Picture

This is a multi-aperture picture depicting the growth of a family over time. The work is completed using stainless steel nappy /safety pins in sizes which show family relationships in a fun way.

This would make a quirky new-baby gift.


Naval Signalling Flags Cross-stitch Name Picture

Quirky personalised cross-stitch which spells out a person's name using international naval signalling flags.

These flags were used by ships to communicate information to other nearby ships while at sea. Each letter of the alphabet has a corresponding patterned flag, and these are stitched in quality cotton thread on 14- or 16 point white or cream aida.

This would make a great unusual gift for a new baby.
