The new maia catalogue for 2010 is out now. It’s the ninth catalogue and features 21 great new designs. Fans of maia know their cross stitch kits for their superb attention to detail and artistry. With this new collection, you won’t be disappointed.

As it’s summer we’ve hand-picked three floral favourites to give you a taste of the new ranges. There’s a gigantic gerbera (Red Ruffles £45) with a stunning colour spectrum. This contemporary floral design will brighten up any room in your home.

We’re also showing off this beautiful Japanese lady (Yumezakura £48) taking a stroll among the cherry blossom. In full costume she strolls daintily among the tumbling blossom – we think you’ll enjoy every stitch of this detailed design.

And for a final taster of the new designs on offer, there is the more subdued Kimono Sunset (£33). In a more restrained colour palette this evening scene conjures up an atmospheric night-time scene as a geisha rests before a setting sun.
