I’ve stitched lots of

Michael’s designs over

the years, so I’m really

looking forward to

getting started on this

new and exclusive

project from him!

READER PANEL

I wouldn’t usually

stitch a design like this

but, I have to say, this

has really taken me

by surprise – I love it!

It will definitely get

added to my list of

projects to do. I think

I would frame it in

a coloured frame to

match the design.
