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 November issue of CrossStitcher! We’ve got lots of seasonal treats plus some early festive projects to get stuck into! First, it’s time for a tea break: our cover star is a brew-tiful collection of tea caddies designed by Emma Congdon, PLUS! There are two exclusive kits for you, too – with everything you need to stitch up a Yuletide needlecase, plus part 2 of our Regency Street SAL. You also get a BONUS pack of mini star buttons, with ideas and techniques for using them inside the issue!

 

Inside, you’ll find plenty to keep you at your hoop in the lead-up to Christmas. Stitch our retro Santa scene, then prepare for December with our cute Advent bags. We’ve also got a stunning Christmas shelf display to enjoy. Get ready to deck the halls with our four Christmas ornament cards and start part 1 of our new Christmas Market design. 

 

Plus, our Mushrooms alphabet is perfect for personalised autumn projects!
