Throughout our CrossStitcher content we bring you step-by-step projects created by a team of highly talented contributors demonstrating a vast array of techniques to bring you a wide range of projects to develop your skills and make every cross stitch creation the best it can be. We also bring you regular interviews with key artisans, all the top news and gossip and new product launches. Not forgetting great techniques, ‘how to’s’, top trends and fantastic competitions for you to expand that stitching stash! 

Welcome to the Summer issue of CrossStitcher! 

 

Our cover project further emphasises the summer theme with our Italian coastal scene, coupled with an artist’s painting in progress. The perfect project to help you ‘escape’ to the Mediterranean.

 

Inside, the issue is packed with more sunshine-filled projects! Our latest season spot sampler featured a caravan, palm trees and many other summery treats. If you’re heading to the beach, make sure you stitch our sunny sunglasses case first – and for those staying home, our floral vase cover will brighten a bedroom or living room in an instant. PLUS: we’ve packed in over 50 motifs to our special Nursery collection – mix and match them to make a circus sampler and lots of smaller projects, too.

 

Our popular Library Stitch-A-Long continues with the top section of books to stitch, and the alphabet this month has a sweet Fairytale Magic theme – featuring charming potions, woodland trees and animals.

 

Your summer of stitching starts here!!
