Crest Cross Stitch
We are frequently asked for cross-stitch patterns for clan crests and are therefore very pleased to be able to offer the designs of George Copland from Crest Cross Stitch, Montrose. These now come as both full kits and chart packs. All include large easy-to-read charts, instructions, and a colour print of the tartan section, while the kits also include material and threads, ready sorted on an organiser. We even give a choice between Aida and evenweave material – while we prefer (and recommend) evenweave for these kits, we appreciate that a lot of people would rather use Aida.
The range is expanding, but meanwhile all the clan crests shown in the table on the left are available. Just click on the name and you’ll be taken to it. Chartpacks are priced at 6.95 UK pounds and kits at 14.95 UK pounds, both inclusive of world-wide postage, by airmail where appropriate.
Although only using cross and backstitch, these kits really do give an excellent representation of the various tartan weaves.
Also available is a selection of Regimental Badges from the more famous of the Scottish Regiments. Like the clans, these are set out in the table on the left of this page – or just click the “Regiments” button at the top of the page. These are currently only available as chartpacks.
On an entirely different note, Crest Cross Stitch offer a very popular chart of Scurdie Ness Lighthouse, Montrose. This is a typical slender white Scottish lighthouse, and the design, based on a water colour painting, shows the lighthouse on a cool but sunny east-coast summer day. Just click on the “Lighthouse” button at the top of the page to be whisked off to Scurdie Ness!
Finally, do have a look at Crest Cross Stitch’s charts based on well-known Scottish sayings and phrases – Auld Lang Syne, My Love is Like a Red Red Rose, The Selkirk Grace, and (most popular so far) A Traditional Scottish Toast. You’ll see these in the table on the left, or just click on the “Poems” button at the top of the page.
