ECKLEY TALES CROSS STITCH KITS
Introducing Cross Stitch Kits to the Eckley Tales range.

ET05 The Little Carol Singers, size 25x35cms is specifically designed to appeal to the skilled stitcher who wishes to tackle something a little more detailed. This kit contains a separate Cross Stitch and Backstitch chart, DMC stranded cotton, 14 Count White Aida, a needle and instructions. Eckley, Marla and Normy, decided to bring some festive cheer with their beautiful rendition of their favourite carol in their tiny village of Eckley. Eckley is a little cold in his waistcoat and so wished he'd worn something a little warmer, whilst Marla is singing her little heart out. Normy is so full of festive spirit he's decided to bring everyone a little Christmas cheer by dressing up as Santa and Rudolph, but couldn't part with his scooter helmet so he dressed that up too.

ET06 The Look Out, size 35x35cms is specifically designed to appeal to the skilled stitcher who wishes to tackle something a little more detailed. This kit contains a separate Cross Stitch and Backstitch chart, DMC stranded cotton, 14 Count White Aida, a needle and instructions. Why not join these cute little Wood Mice on their latest adventure as they explore the big people’s garden for treasure. Eckley is in search of his latest recycling acquisition from his look out post, a Marguerite Daisy. Normy decides to help, whilst Marla quietly enjoys her little picnic of Cucumber Sandwiches and fruit with her best friend her rag dolly Clarissa for company ©Amanda Jane Butler @AJB Designs 2018.
