Welcome to our Spring
Summer Collection for 2008
With your winter stitching projects coming to a close,
you’ll be thinking about what to do next. To help you look
forward to the wonderful seasons ahead, Anchor has
developed a fabulous collection of colourful design led
projects, simply perfect for those long warm summer nights.
At Anchor we are committed to producing unique and
stunning designs, all to the highest quality. With over 80
new designs encompassing stunning colour ways, we have
ensured that there is something for everyone, from our cute,
simple character kits for the absolute beginner to the more
intricate and challenging stitching designs.
Our front cover features 'A Bit Peckish', which captures the
detail of freestyle embroidery beautifully. The inner pages
offer simpler starter kits, tapestry, personalisation gift kits,
Glorafilia and Anchor Living.
Character ranges are always popular and for this collection
we have strengthened the range by introducing 'Jolly
Nation' to Anchor portfolio. The popular paper crafting
characters, made famous by Paper Nation, have been
brought to life for the stitching world in a wedding sampler
and celebration cross stitch kits. Other wonderful new
designs for the character range include kits from Me To
You, Newton's Law and Humphrey's Corner. With one of
our favourite characters Forever Friends celebrating their
21st birthday, we have designed a limited edition pure wool
rug to commemorate this event. Turn to page 31 for further
information.
Disney is still as popular as ever, so for your copy of the
Disney Spring Summer 08 Supplement, please contact our
consumer helpline.
We hope you enjoy looking through this supplement and
choosing your next project.
HAPPY STITCHING!
