elcome to the wonderful, unique and magical world of
Michael Powell and our fantastic new catalogue for 2009.
For those of you who are new to the designs of Michael Powell
here is a brief resume. Our designs are based on the beautiful
artwork of Michael Powell. His love of buildings and architecture
are the main inspiration for his work, normally created in pen and
ink and watercolour. Michael is an artist with a unique style that
translates brilliantly into needlework, whether it is cross-stitch or
needlepoint/tapestry. The watercolour palette is replaced with
the vast range of cotton or wool and the resulting designs take on
C
a new, fantastic vibrancy of their own.

stitcher to the beginner. The charts and instructions are clear
and very easy to understand and kits all come with a separate
back stitch chart. The materials are of the best quality, including
Zweigart fabric in either 14 count Aida or 27 count even weave,
and Anchor stranded cotton. The tapestry kits contain Zweigart
printed fabric and Appletons Tapestry wools.
Well what has Michael been up to… Michael has added several
new designs to the Mini Kits range. There is a new range called
Little Gems – a beautiful range of cross stitch designs that use
brief sentimental quotes and highlighted with beads. There is a
new range of Bookmark kits and a large design called Harbour
Town (Tenby).
Michael’s range of cross stitch kits are now well established in the
market place, offering stitchers something very different and the
opportunity to create a piece of art of their very own.
All our designs should be available from your local stockist.
For a list of stockists please call 029 2049 6000.
Thank you:
To all our customers.
To Julia for her charting and design expertise, to Sally for her
organising abilities and a big thank you to all our stitchers.

Our very popular range
of smaller kits, all with
full stitches. New this
year are Mini Hill Town
and Mini Greek Islands 2,
which we are sure, will be
as popular as the others
