If you’re looking for a cross stitch project that’s fun, modern, and actually useful when it’s finished, the latest Stitch Mail subscription box might be just the thing.
Introducing Cherry Nice, a cheerful cross stitch project where you’ll stitch two individual coasters, one with a cherry and leopard print theme and one with a neat stripe and LOVE motif, perfect for resting a cuppa, cocktail, or celebratory glass of something nice.
It’s a small, satisfying make designed for slow, creative moments and a lovely reminder that stitching doesn’t have to mean another project tucked away in a drawer.
What is the Cherry Nice Stitch Mail box?
Cherry Nice is part of Stitch Mail, a monthly cross stitch subscription box created to offer manageable, modern projects that can be completed in a few hours.
In this box, you’ll create:
-
Two separate cross stitch designs mounted inside clear acrylic coaster frames creating finished pieces that can be used every day
The cherry motif feels playful, nostalgic, and just a little bit retro and the leopard print is 'chef's kiss' - both perfect for adding a handmade touch to your coffee table or desk.
Why stitch coasters?
One of the things I hear most from stitchers is that they love making something that feels useful, not just decorative.
Cross stitch coasters are:
-
Practical and giftable
-
Small enough to finish without pressure
-
A great way to try something a little different from hoops and frames
The acrylic coaster frames allow your stitching to shine while keeping it protected and they make the finished project feel polished and intentional. They are such a great product, keep your eyes peeled for blank coasters in our make shop soon!
Is Cherry Nice suitable for beginners?
Absolutely!
Like all Stitch Mail subscription boxes, Cherry Nice is designed to be beginner friendly, with:
-
Clear, step-by-step instructions
-
Small, achievable designs
-
No complicated techniques
If you’re new to cross stitch, this project is a great confidence booster. If you’re more experienced, it’s a lovely, low-pressure stitch that still feels special.
Each box focuses on one small, thoughtful project, something you can finish, enjoy, and use.
Cherry Nice is a perfect example of that philosophy.
A handmade gift (or a treat for yourself)
The Cherry Nice coasters also make a brilliant handmade gift idea:
-
A thoughtful present for craft lovers
-
A creative housewarming gift
-
Something unique for birthdays or special occasions
Or, of course, you can keep them for yourself — no judgement here.
