We’re well and truly into the month of February now and, truth be told, we’ve never really explored what else Dimensions have to offer when it comes to kits outside of the North Pole! Well, that changes today, as we’re rifling through the filing cabinets to bring you some seriously stunning cross stitch kits this month.
Spring’s on our mind rather a lot at the moment and what better way to kick things off than with a wander through the blooms?! Let’s get started!
In The Garden 🌻
We’re heading outside for this first segment as we’re loving just how intricate and eye-catching these kits are! Whether you’re heading into your garden, pootling down the allotment, or feeding the poultry, there’s something for any stitcher who loves being outdoors!
First up, and as part of the Gold Collection, Blissful Moments is a piece that encourages you to look closer for the details. Capturing tender moments, this painter’s garden is surrounded by furry friends and winged wildlife, offered within an idyllic setting. This kit offers a moment of peace and serenity as Blissful Moments almost feels like a piece within a piece, capturing the painter’s world as they immortalise theirs.
Detailed backstitching and clever colour work are just two elements of what makes this next kit so great, as Forks & Feathers offers an image of a few feathered pals having a catch up! Featuring a robin, wren, and a blue tit and more, this kit’s perfect for any bird lover.
Lastly, we’re checking out who the rules the roost with this watercolour-inspired kit, offering a fun and different twist on the more traditional country kitchen styles. Another high-quality kit from Dimensions, the Rooster kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions, alongside a needle, threads and aida.
A Special Occasion 🎉
Whether you’re celebrating for yourself, friends or family, Dimensions have a sampler or two to help create the perfect gift to commemorate a special occasion. With those save-the-dates on some of our minds as we’ve crossed into the new year, wedding samplers not only feel like an apt gift, but can sometimes feel a little more personal than a plain ol’ gravy boat – unless it’s on the list, of course!
The United Hearts kit is up first, offering a delicate backstitched border to frame a more traditional design, yet with love and celebration being the main focal point of the piece. Complete with key charm to offer a 3D element, United Hearts will make any couple feel like this gift has been made with love, and then some.
Heading for a little more of a modern approach with french knots and cursive backstitching, Wedding Cheers offers a fun take on a sampler, perfect for those who love camping! Soft blush tones and eucalyptus compliment one another perfectly on a cream background, with the offset date and names giving the stitcher the space to fully personalise the piece, alongside the sandwich board. Featured on 14 count aida, Wedding Cheers feels like the perfect make for any springtime wedding.
We’re sticking with samplers, yet this time, we’re celebrating the arrival of a bouncing baby! Perfect to gift or for any nursery, baby samplers are such lovely pieces to create and cherish. Noting a little one’s name, weight and birthday, the Baby Drawers sampler features many cuddly toys sat ready and waiting for playtime! With great blending of threads for rich colourwork, Baby Drawers feels wonderfully nostalgic, already offering that quaint, hand-me-down feel to the piece, creating a kit to encourage many smiles and happy memories for years to come.
Words To Live By 💌
A kind word or a phrase that resonates can make those grey days a little brighter; clearly Dimensions have thought the same! Focusing on the night sky, these two kits offer some wonderful sentiments to keep in mind. Combining a woodland stay with stargazing, Camping Adventure offers a great step up in challenge with a wonderful payoff. Using french knots to illuminate the night sky and backstitching to complete constellations, the Camping Adventure kit reminds us to always look for the light.
Lastly, but by no means least, we’re keeping with the night sky with some super-fun printed embroidery! This striking piece displays an array of beautiful tones on midnight blue, with a floral moon offering a number of different stitches to complete. Another fun challenge with a stunning, inspirational payoff, Stars Shine is sure to stop anyone in their tracks with this heartfelt message.
