Some of the designs from Southern Cross Needlework

Southern Cross Needlework designs, creates and produces tapestry and cross stitch kits in Australian flora and themes.

Australasia is a diverse region. It harbours many treasures for the embroiderer to explore.

Australia is not only a harsh, unforgiving land; it is also very beautiful. Much of that beauty is showcased in its native flora and fauna. Vivid colours dot the landscape, particularly after rain.

That richness has been realised also, to translate events significant to Australia.

Southern Cross Needlework has captured this vibrancy and diversity for all embroiderers to enjoy.

Gallipoli Rose

Created to celebrate the 97th anniversary of the landing of Gallipoli.
