I need to fins somewhere I can buy small square/round and/or heartshaped doilies for cross stitching... Something like these, but from a uk online store:

I bought a kit from the US a few years ago and it had these in, I recently put one in a frame and friends are asking me to make them for them - i just can't seem to find them (although as cross stitch isn't my main craft, maybe I'm just not finding the right stores! Grin

I found these and there seem to be similar ones made by Anchor.

I just love a good google challenge. They don't have the decorative border the one in your link had though. they have holes round the edge to add a crochet border if you can do that.

Ordinary fabric and waste canvas? Or the soluble stuff whose name escapes me...
I can only find the ones without a border.

Thanks for the link Soup but unfortunately those are for crocheting on to.

I need aida fabric in the middle, with a decorative crochet-y border.Confused

I can find loads of aida, but none with this sort finished edge in nice small shapes. I can't even find stocks of them from a US store as a last resort!

Hmm... I thought the edges were for crocheting and the centre was an aida type fabric.

The centres are something called "evenweave"... isn't that similar? You could sew a bought border on if you can't crochet.
