If you like your cross stitch designs fun, fresh and irreverent, then the new Born to Shop range from Anchor is for you!

With witty slogans and fun, female-friendly designs, Born to Shop is perfect to stitch for yourself or to give as a gift to your girlfriends.

Sayings such as: “I am Woman, I am Invincible – I am tired”, “You can touch the dust, but please don’t write in it”, and “Save the Earth – it’s the only planet with chocolate” make these designs must haves for girlie girls.

Other great designs include: “People who don’t like cats must have been mice in a previous life”, “Friends are the family we choose for ourselves” and “Lord, if you won’t make me skinny, please make my friends fat”.

The kits are all stitched on 14-count white Aida fabric and contain Anchor Stranded Cotton thread, chart, needle and instructions.

There’s also the new Born to Shop Baby range of kits, also in cross stitch. There are four brilliant designs which take a different view of “baby” designs – while they’re cute they’re certainly not sickly sweet! These are fresh and fun, with a great, contemporary colour palette.

The four designs include Little Princess, Little Star, Feed Me!!! and Does My Bum Look Big in This? These kits also include Anchor Stranded Cotton and 14-count Aida.
