Our coverted Advent Box was released on 16th July and sold out in an amazing 72 hour flurry. A massive thank you to everyone that purchased the Advent Box this year and apologies for those of you who missed out. We increased our numbers this year and will be doing the same again next year. If you would like to be amongst the first to know about the release date for 2026 please sign up to our Newsletter.

As is tradition at this time of year we have a Christmas themed Stitch-a-Long – The Magical Gingerbread House Stitch-a-Long is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas with its bright and vibrant design – we absolutely love it and are sure you will too. This is a four part Stitch-a-Long project where cross stitchers around the world join together to stitch one piece of this pattern every fortnight for 8 weeks. It is a one off price which includes all four patterns. If you join part way through you will receive all the previous patterns. This is a lovely project that you can stitch at your own pace and enjoy for many years as a Christmas decoration.

The Magical Gingerbread House Stitch-a-Long is worked on our sage green fabric available as either 16 count Aida or 32 count Linen from Zweigart. The fabric colour works so beautifully with the gorgeous selection of DMC threads we have chosen – the wintery white stitches literally jump out of the fabric and look like twinkly snowflakes. If you love hand dyed fabric we recommend using Hartfield Moss from Swan Bay Fabrics – also available here to add to your order.

The Magical Gingerbread House Stitch-a-Long is in four bite sized projects and the first part will be released on 13th October. If you order a Full Kit or Advent Box these will be dispatched on 22nd September giving you plenty of time to receive your supplies before the release date. We have a dedicated Facebook page too, so you can post your progress and follow other Stitchers’ journeys. There will be lots of helpful hints and tips along the way and its a great way to make new friends around the world. Join our group today at Historical Sampler Co Stitch-a-long on Facebook.
