MacPherson Designs Tartan

Turning to something completely different, Liz has also designed a series of cross-stitch kits based on the tartans of several of the old Scottish clans. These designs combine a clan tartans (most clans now have several tartans) with the clan name and motto. The various designs differ slightly in size, but all measure in the region of 6 inches (or 150 mm) square.

These kits combine effectiveness with simplicity - there are no half stitches. All the stitcher has to cope with, therefore, are full cross-stitches and backstitch.

All MacPherson Design tartan kits come with Anchor floss (ready sorted on an organiser), 14-count Aida material, a gold-plated needle, and charts and full instructions. Pictured on the right is the Hunting Macleod kit.
