Stitching Buddy

The Stitching Buddy Appreciation Society (est. 2023) is about recognising the love and companionship of our furry friends. The ones who snooze beside us as we stitch, occasionally offering a 'helpful' paw and always contributing a few hairs to our projects!

Inspired by my SBAS needle minder, this design features both canine and feline paw prints, a stylised needle and thread, and a scattering of teeny hearts.

This kit comes with all the materials you need to create your own piece of colourful hoop art, the only extra equipment required is a pair of scissors.

Included in the kit:

  • 6” (15cm) wooden embroidery hoop, made in the UK

  • White Zweigart aida fabric, 14 count

  • DMC embroidery thread

  • Pink and white felt for finishing and backing (vegan-friendly acrylic)

  • Size 24 tapestry needle

  • Printed pattern and cross stitch guide

All beautifully packaged in a fully recyclable box.

This Hoops & Crosses kit is suitable for beginners.

Please note: The finished hoop in the photos is for illustrative purposes only, you will receive a kit.

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.

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"
