So, you've finished your last design. It's framed and on the
wall, admired by everyone who's been round to your house since.
Now it's time to move on to something new. But how do you choose?
The first question to ask yourself is, who am I going to stitch
for? Is it for me? In which case, try some of our
flower designs, perfect as contemporary wall art.
Is the design for a partner? In which case, try to find out what
their favourite or first car or motorbike was, then stitch it, maybe
even as a
caricature. Popular older cars include
minis,
bikes might include a
triumph (the one shown here is a
triumph trophy).
What about other relatives? Big kids or little kids love to
receive a personalised cross stitch design. For the boys, how about
a
Nissan Skyline or a
Subura Impreza WRC? Saying that, we find a lot of girls love the
fast cars and bikes too, it never pays to pigeon hole anyone.
If the people in your life prefer something non-motor related,
why not stitch them one of our PETZ designs? The
Goldfish kit always gets a reaction (usually lots of laughter)
and the
Springer Spaniel is very cute.
Whoever you're stitching for, I'm sure they'll be thrilled to
receive a gift that you've spent time working on, for no other
reason than that they're special to you and you want to show them
how much you care. Of course, if you're stitching for you, then show
that care to yourself. After all, no-one is more deserving!
