Felicity Hall needlepoint kits
Silhouette needlepoint by Felicity Hall
Since The Crafty Minx was published in the UK in April, I’ve been receiving more and more emails from UK readers, which is very exciting. Felicity Hall got in touch to alert me to her divine needlepoint kits, which I love so much I couldn’t resist popping them up on the site here, in case you fancy ordering them direct from the UK.
They remind me a little of The Six Week Boutique kits I featured here earlier: very fun and funky.

I love the Felicity Hall kits and it’s great to see designers doing more in the way of contemporary needlepoint – for too long needlepoint has been stuck in the land of poodles and roses. That’s why I also love the Jennifer Pudney needlepoint designs http://www.needlepoint-for-fun.com/jenniferpudney.html. They are sassy and fun and don’t take long to stitch. My favorite is “A Gardener’s Bottom”.
