Die Hard SAL
Yippee-Ki-Yay! This year's festive stitch-along is inspired by the film that I watch every Christmas Eve- Die Hard! The design features 8 quotes and 16 motifs, and there are no swear words, so it's safe for display at Christmas with the family!
The full design will be kept secret until the final part of the SAL is released, but you can see some sneak peeks in the photos, along with the colour palette.
Stitched using full cross stitches, backstitch and 12 French knots (to dot the ‘i’s), there are no partial stitches.
This kit comes with all the materials you need to finish the piece as a hanging banner, the only extra equipment required is a pair of sharp scissors and some pins.
Included in the kit:
White Zweigart aida fabric, 14 count
Pre-sorted DMC embroidery thread (20 colours)
Red and white felt for finishing and banner-making (vegan-friendly acrylic)
Wooden dowel
Cotton yarn
Pompom trim

Fantastic kit- really enjoying stitching it and trying to guess what might be included in the next release. Excellent communication from hoops and crosses - can not recommend them highly enough. This is the third kit I’ve done from them and have never been disappointed.
I love all my kits from Lucy. You get all the threads and extras to complete the project. I’m really enjoying this Sal , part 1 completed patiently waiting for part two xx
This kit is amazing, I am stitching it to display in my kitchen because my family are seriously fussy eaters and sometimes I want to say this to them, as soon as it's on the wall I can point at it instead of just telling them!! It's fabulous
I added this to my order, to get me to the free postage limit. I'm so glad I did, dont know how I managed without a needle minder and its such a lovely design. It reminds me of the first design I did from hoops and crosses, "power in your weirdness"
This is so much fun to stitch. I've already done the most of it, just some back stitching and hearts to do 🤍
