I have always loved Celtic art, from the intricate knotwork borders and embellishments to the stylised animals and figures found in many examples of original and contemporary work. Many of my designs have a Scottish or Celtic theme, and have been inspired or adapted from original works; for example 'Celtic Cats' was adapted from a circular illustration depicting dogs, from the book of Kells; alterations to the original work were inspired by my cats who are constantly chasing each other and getting tangled up together. Some of these designs have been converted into cross stitch projects, others lend themselves more to drawings, both of which can be purchased through the on line shop. Have a browse through the gallery at the designs currently available.

Counted stitch projects Kits are available for a range of skill levels, using a variety of stitches. All of the sewing kits include all of the materials you need to complete the project: Fabric, threads, needle, chart and instructions. There is also the option to have the chart enlarged or printed in colour if you wish.

Pictures Celtic designs hand drawn and coloured, supplied in professional mounts ready to be framed.

Photo-to-Chart Service For a project that is truly original, your favourite photo or picture can be converted into a cross stitch chart and supplied as a complete kit or just the chart and colour list. If needed your picture can be touched up or edited to your instructions to produce the perfect result. A great gift idea to give as kits, a cross stitch of the grandchildren for grandma to sew, or even to sew yourself and give as a finished item! More information on how the service works can be found in Kit information
