I know this is a longshot request ...

I'm trying to source a Noah's Ark cross stitch kit which I saw several years ago in a craft shop. All I know about it is it had lots of embellishments ie plastic animals, beads and other bits and pieces and I think it came from Germany. It was really expensive and probably the reason why I didn't buy it at the time but I've never forgotten how beautiful it was.

My attempts to find it on the internet have been unsuccessful and the craft shop where I saw it has long closed down.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of this kit or has any suggestions of German companies that make these types of cross stitch.

Thanks!
Gypsy

I've never seen a design like that, but wondered if you could adapt another design by sewing on some animal shaped buttons?

Or perhaps these looking out of the windows of the ark?

Hope that helps!
