If you love cross stitch and surprises, then get ready to meet the newest member of my team - Beryl the Cross Stitch Vending Machine!
Oh yes!
Beryl is a fully stocked vintage-style vending machine packed with cross stitch kits and she’ll be popping up at events throughout 2026.
Full of limited edition designs - when they are gone I will replace with new ones! - Beryl is designed to bring a little excitement and fun to the cross stitch community. Think old-school vending machine nostalgia mixed with modern colourful stitching culture.
Wanna know more about Beryl?
Beryl is no ordinary vending machine.
Instead of snacks and fizzy drinks, she dispenses unique mini cross stitch surprises. Visitors can purchase a token, turn the dial and get a surprise kit!
Beryl was born from a love of:
- Vintage vending machines
- Craft fair excitement
- Surprise lucky dips
- Colourful creative experiences
- Bringing people together through stitching
I wanted to create something that would make people smile the moment they spotted it across a room - everyone loves a lucky dip, right?
How you can get a go on Beryl!
Beryl will be travelling to craft fairs, maker markets, textile events, and creative festivals throughout the year.
She will next appear on my stand at the 'Thread... A Festival of Textiles' in Farnham in June. Find out more about the event HERE
I will share upcoming locations, dates, and behind-the-scenes updates on social media, so keep an eye out if you’d like to visit Beryl in person.
Why you will love Beryl...
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a lifelong stitcher, Beryl offers a joyful little moment of creativity you can take home with you and she’s also extremely photogenic - look at her! So cute!
