Welcome to Sybilla Davis Designs

My interest in needlecraft and cross-stitch in particular can be traced back to the Danish side of my family when my grandmother started me off on cross-stitch as a young girl. Cross-stitch and other needlework have traditionally been extremely popular in Scandinavia. Over the years my hobby developed to include other mediums and techniques including needlepoint, bargello and tapestry as well as different kinds of embroidery. Then as I became more confident my creative talents extended to include designing projects for family and friends.

Since starting my business, I have been delighted by the friendly and enthusiastic response to my designs from stitchers in Cornwall and the world over, especially those with historic family links to Cornwall due to its mining heritage. Then the development of the Internet offered the opportunity for my designs to be more accessible worldwide and so my website was launched in December 1998. This has enabled easy communication with stitchers via e-mail and I have been delighted to receive feedback and comment about designs. Following the positive reaction to my site I took the next logical step in December 1999 to develop it for on line shopping and I hope that this facility will be a useful addition.
