We will be closed from midnight December 17th until January 3rd. If you need a kit before Christmas, please order as early as possible to give us the best opportunity to send your order in time.

We only have small stocks of some kits, and some take longer to make up - so please feel free to contact us to check availability before you order.

You can still place orders while we are closed, and they will be sent out in the New Year. Gift cards can be purchased any time, as they are sent immediately by email.

Happy Christmas,

We are pleased to announce 2 new kits available from today:

Marquetry 
This is a form that I think works beautifully in needlepoint. The colours are gentle and the stitching simple as there is no shading, just the security of filling in one pretty curved shape after another. I felt that we are perhaps in need of the relaxation that this offers.

Stressbusters
This idea came from the realisation of the genuine comfort stitching has brought recently. There are times when we just need to do something with our hands which is not taxing - in effect just 'doodle'.

The kits come in a choice of 4 colourways, and include a small canvas, wools, needle and instructions for beginners on how to stitch.They are an excellent introduction to needlepoint, and might make an interesting stocking filler this Christmas.

We now have a presence on Instagram, where we will be sharing some of our favourite photos. Please follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/bethrussellneedlepoint/

It is lovely to see how many people have been posting photos of Beth's designs. If you use the hashtag #bethrussellneedlepoint we will see them.

We will continue to announce new kits and share your photos of finished projects on Facebook. Please send your photos to mark@bethrussellneedlepoint.com
