The Spirits are Inn
This month we're thrilled to bring you an exclusive design from Cathy Habermann of Hands on Design, one of the most sought-after names in cross stitch.
Cathy's known for her meticulous approach to finishing, and her workshops on mounting and presentation are hugely popular with stitchers wanting the perfect way to finish and display their work.
We've worked with Cathy to bring that same finishing style into your box this month. We have mounted the stitched piece onto a padded card, then set onto a stretched canvas, finished with black ric rac trim and a cheerful orange stripe bow. It's a technique that turns your finished stitching into a seasonal piece you'll want to display year after year.
This design is available exclusively from 1st August 2026 until the end of the month.
Available as a Pattern Only, Full Kit, or our ever-popular Original Gift Box, there's an option to suit every stitcher.
Because at Cotton & Twine we believe that carving out some crafting time for yourself should feel like a little celebration.
As always, your subscription remains completely flexible and you can pause, amend, or cancel at any time to suit your lifestyle and creative rhythm.
Choose the option that suits you best!
