A little piece of New Zealand heritage to stitch, then slip between the pages of your favourite book. These cross stitch bookmark kits feature six distinctive Heritage New Zealand places, from historic homes and churches to a school of mines and a post office.

Choose from Old St Paul’s Church in Wellington, the Stone Store and Kemp House in Kerikeri, Highwic or Alberton in Auckland, Thames School of Mines in the Coromandel, or Ophir Post Office in Otago. As you stitch, you’ll get to know the details of these much-loved heritage places in a rather hands-on fashion.

Each kit includes the instructions, 14ct Aida band, coloured cotton threads and needle, so you have everything needed to get started. Once finished, the bookmark makes a useful keepsake for your own reading pile — or a thoughtful New Zealand gift to post overseas.
