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 September issue of CrossStitcher! Our cover star is a floral cushion, featuring the prettiest of peonies – so you can enjoy their beautiful blooms all year long. Plus! There are two bonus exclusives for you, too – with everything you need to stitch up an autumn garland bookmark, plus seasonal seed beads in autumn shades, with ideas and techniques for using them inside the issue! 

 

Inside, you’ll find a whole host of late summer/early autumn projects. Stitch up a complete collection of dandelion sewing accessories, or take note with our four cards with a musical theme. Make a stylish bag with our Parisian tote design, and celebrate man’s best friend with our sampler filled with dogs being dogs.

 

Plus, our Back To School alphabet is perfect for personalised gifts for school-starters, while our fish brooches and Apple Picking picture are colourful and joyful designs for when you simply want to enjoy a seasonal stitch.
