Here's a Tropical Island in a 'cut-thru' style. Sure to be a satisfying and engaging project, suitable for displaying in any room (or travel agents?!)

This LOVE heart design is deceptively versatile - use your favourite colour and switch up the fabric! On 16 count it will fit a 6-inch hoop.

This underwater scene uses bright jewel colours and simple shapes. Stitch on 16 count black Aida and make those colours pop!

Stitch this heart to fill a hoop and have your very own latte foam art to display. Use a white plastic hoop for best effect.

Stitch this heart on 14 count Aida and use 2 strands for cross stitch, and 2 strands for backstitch. You'll see how the bold backstitch gives a lovely illustrated look to your stitching.

This simple heart pattern uses small leaf motifs in gorgeous Autumn colours. Stitch on 14 count and it will perfectly fit a 5-inch hoop.

Use these bright Halloween themed motifs individually, or stitch together as per the chart. Use three strands of thread on black Aida to really make the colours pop.

This bright and tasty design will fit a 5-inch hoop on 14 count. I can see a whole range of fruit in this style!

One skein of black, one skein of blue, and a little white. Use 16 count fabric. And you'll have yourself a TARDIS!

Here's a free large-scale pattern of a pretty lotus flower mandala. The design uses whole cross stitches only, warm lilac tones and plenty of detail to enjoy stitching. I recommend 16 count Aida for this project.

Get into the spirit (heh) of Halloween with this free pattern. Stitch on your favourite fabric and enjoy the bright jewel colours and spooky motifs. There's a kit version of this pattern available in the shop.

Here's a matching cross stitch chart to go with the previous pastries design. Stitch it on the same fabric you choose for the pastries and break down the backstitch by completing one or a few coffees at a time.
