Hi, my name is Holly Hinton and I own and run Holly's Hobbies.  I'm a passionate cross stitch designer and have been cross-stitching since I was in my early teens.

My wonderful Mum taught me to embroider when I was four and my lovely Nanna taught me to knit at around the same age, so I've grown up with an interest in crafty hobbies.

When my first son was born in 2006 I just couldn't find a bright enough name sampler to stitch for his bedroom - so designed my own. From that first Transport sampler the range of Holly's Hobbies themes has grown as I've designed more name samplers to cater for growing customer demand.

I hope you like what you see!
