The Great Outdoors - a Cross Stitch adventure!

The Great Outdoors - a Cross Stitch adventure!

Adventure is calling! This month's Stitch Mail project is inspired by everything I love about spending time outdoors - forest hikes, crackling campfires and toasted marshmallows, winding rivers, mountain views and the simple joy of getting away from it all.

If you're looking for a unique cross stitch kit that combines creativity, relaxation and a beautiful finished piece that's totally unique, then you'll love the latest Stitch Mail projectThe Great Outdoors.

Designed for both beginners and experienced stitchers, this month's project celebrates outdoor adventures with a vintage-inspired sports pennant flag featuring the uplifting slogan 'Let's Get Lost' and a blissful cross stitch mountain-scape.

A modern cross stitch project with vintage scout vibes

The inspiration behind The Great Outdoors comes from classic scout badges, weathered camp pennants and nostalgic outdoor adventures.

The design is stitched onto beautiful sky-blue Aida fabric and features a detailed mountain and river landscape surrounded by a colour palette of soft outdoor blues, earthy browns and classic khaki scout-inspired greens.

At the centre of the design is the phrase 'Let's Get Lost', stitched in an elegant swirling script that perfectly captures the spirit of adventure.

More than a cross stitch kit

One of my favourite things about this project is that it doesn't stop at the stitching. Once the cross stitch design is complete, you'll transform it into a finished pennant flag using the included felt backing, binding and trims. The result is a decorative piece that's ready to hang and enjoy.

You can had the handy hanging loops on the reverse, your finished pennant can be displayed in:

  • Your craft room
  • A cosy reading nook
  • Your office or creative workspace
  • A camper van or caravan
  • A bedroom wall
  • Anywhere that could use a little adventurous spirit

It's the perfect project for stitchers who love creating items that are both beautiful and practical.

Whether you're completely new to cross stitch or have years of stitching experience, The Great Outdoors kit has been designed to be enjoyable and achievable.

The project includes full-colour charts, clear instructions and all the materials you'll need, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a relaxing, beginner-friendly cross stitch project.
