Latinor Designs
Counted Cross Stitch

Latinor Designs have craft work created for both the newcomer and the more experienced stitcher. We have lots of cross-stitch kits featuring Muffin the Mule and his friends, which we have designed under an exclusive license. There are also traditional embroideries, including a wedding sampler, birth sampler embroidery, baptism and confirmation samplers, as well as the more modern needlework style of our science and technology x-stitch patterns. You will find an SLR Canon camera, binoculars, magnifying glass, astronomical telescope, microscope, gyroscope, chemical balance, and glass prism projecting a visible light spectrum.

If you fancy sewing something a little out of the ordinary, try our lace effect filigree finesse needlecraft, our abstract art craftwork, or a cross stitch kit about origami. Our music cross stitch kits have charts that make ideal stitching if you have a practising musician in the family and our paper-craft kits are all fun to do, whether you choose to sew a pattern of traditional paper dolls or a Chinese lantern chart for Christmas. Our medieval craft-work features a x-stitch kit of a lady sewing, a knight on horse-back, a falcon, a spinning wheel, and a medieval castle. In our historic series there is a Georgian house, silhouettes of Doctor Erasmus Darwin and Dr Samuel Johnson, a Parliamentarian Roundhead from the English Civil War, and a cameo design of Queen Victoria. In our antique series we have a gramophone, oil lamp, scroll, quill & ink, candle-stick & Bible ("The Word & The Light"), and an old fashioned folding camera. More recent additions encompass the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana flower arranging. Also art deco counted cross-stitch and art nouveaux styles of Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired from artwork within The Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Art Gallery (now part of Glasgow University), and a Victorian terraced house at 78 Derngate Northampton. The Mackintosh House was the former home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald from (1906 to 1914), whereas 78 Derngate was Mackintosh's last major commission - designed and executed between 1916 and 1920 for Whynne J Bassett-Lowke (1877 - 1953), the model engineer.

Latinor Designs have x-stitch flags for British expatriates. As well as the Union Jack for VE Day & VJ Day (also known as VP Day), there is the flag of Saint George and the rose of England emblem; the Saltire flag of Saint Andrew and the thistle emblem of Scotland; the Irish flag of St Patrick and the shamrock emblem of Ireland, with a quick mention about the original Eire harp emblem. More recently, we have added the Stars and Stripes for the USA
