A very happy New Year to Jolly Red stitchers- past, present & future! 

A jolly big welcome, and hello!

Have you got your woolly socks nearby, and your hat at the ready if you're a dog walker? Maybe grab your umbrella too, just to be on the safe side! Winter weather is here. About time really, it's been a bit weird having week after week of 'not quite any season' weather. Now's the time to light the fire and settle down with your favourite crafts.

I hope you've enjoyed stitching your Christmas Stockings this year. You can see some of the ones that we've made up in recent months on our blog: http://bit.ly/mMzLXg.


Kit Book 15 & Web Info

A copy of our current catalogue Kit Book 15, is sent out with every kit order. Most of our designs are shown in it, but all are featured on our website. For news of special offers send your email address to kelly@jollyred.co.uk.

Overseas Orders

We receive so many orders from all over the world, it never ceases to amaze me. Thank you everyone for finding Jolly Red, we hope you will enjoy our kits. Top kit destinations at the moment are Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Greece, Ireland and Denmark.  Order online or call us if you prefer, it's always nice to hear from customers in farflung places. Incidentally, we charge a flat rate of postage for overseas orders, so it might be worthwhile getting together with another stitching friend to order together.

Please do include an email address with all orders, useful in case we need to check any details before sending your order. We will also notify you of any special offers via email, and never pass on your details to any one else. Never have, never will!

If you are in the UK on holiday and prefer to choose your next projects in a shop rather than online, don't forget  that Jolly Red kits are stocked in many needlework shops. If you need to know if there is a Jolly Red stockist near to where you're staying, do get in touch. Visitors to the south west are very welcome to visit our Somerset workshop, please just call us in advance as we are sometimes full of boxes if packing large orders!

Making Up Service

Our skilled ladies can turn your finished work - however wonky! - into a masterpiece, so do have a peep the Making Up page for more information and prices. Our gallery will inspire you, with lots of examples of recent making up. On our blog at www.jollyredstitches.blogspot.com (you can click on the 'Blog' link at the top of this page) there are more examples of finished tapestries, along with helpful hints such as directions to help you find our workshop if you're in the area. If you want to bring your making up in to us in person you are very welcome to do so. You can also pop in to pick up a kit, handy if you want to save on postage.

A Big Thank you..

.. to you all for your continued support for and appreciation of Jolly Red, not only with your orders but also with your emails, letters and phonecalls too. We are so lucky to have customers who communicate so freely with us - thank you, we appreciate all of your comments, and even design suggestions...

As always, we look forward to hearing from you - and to seeing you if you are in Somerset. Visitors are always welcome at our workshop. You can come and see where the kits get put together in our lovely wool room, marvel at the cottons wonderful colours of the stranded cottons on cone, and last but not least you can stroke Flik, the friendliest Jack Russell in the county. Please do call first if you can as sometimes we are very busy and you might not be able to get in for piles of boxes!

With all best wishes,

Kelly
