Carol MacDonald has been designing her own needlework for some years now. She says she likes the designing more than the actual stitching - same goes for knitting and quilt making as well. Her Mum is very creative too and so Carol guesses she just grew up thinking that you always have to have a project or two (or three...) on the go.

Here's what Carol had to say on how she got the idea to produce her own designs. "About three years ago Brenda got me to run a class, for the Embroidery Shop in Masterton, on designing cross-stitch. She displayed some of my work in the window to advertise the class and people wanted to buy it - she said I should create some designs for her to sell. The idea stayed in my head and slowly grew. I got tired of my academic life and wanted to do something more fun. My husband and Mum encouraged me (always fatal) and away I went. Mum and I have stitched away testing and reworking designs over the past two years. Finally it has all come together. We are pretty pleased with the results and I'm working on my next ones already. Nothing like being confident!! "
So here is the collection of her bright needlepoint tapestries worked on 18 count interlocked canvas in continental (tent) stitch using six strands of DMC cotton. And her Counted Cross Stitch designs worked on 18 count frabric with two strands of DMC cotton. Each design comes in a CD presentation pack and contains a large clear colour chart and full instructions for $NZ 22.50.
If you would like us to put together the fabric and threads as well just let us know, and we can let you know the price of the full package.
