Lesley Teare Cross Stitch Design

5th May 2026

The start of a new set of designs that we will be stitching over the coming weeks still based on flowers and butterflies, but this time I have simplified the designs to try and encourage stitchers who are just begining to work in this lovely craft of cross stitch. So just a few backstitches for simple detail and no fractional stitches or French knots to struggle with.

Although set out as a sampler, each design will make a lovely card for friends and family and for those of you with more experience I hope you will enjoy stitching them for quick and easy gifts.

The border and KEY for the sampler are available to download and the first design will be posted next Wednesday.

Happy stitching. Lesley
