H

ello there! I thought I’d share my wedding sampler, which

I found in one of the back issues on digital download from

issue 216 (April 2014). I have made it for some special friends – I

hope they like it! I changed the colour of the rings to platinum

and replaced the French knots with Mill Hill petite seed beads in

matching colours and added a few extra, which I think finishes it

off perfectly. I also framed it myself.

I really enjoyed making it and I’m very pleased with the result.

I’m sure I’ll make it again for another happy couple!

Alison Stewart, via email

Emily: We are big fans of this wedding sampler from Lesley

Teare, so it’s fun to revisit it with your letter and photo, Alison.

Wedding samplers are a tradition that go back hundreds of years

and this up-to-date modern version is a keeper. Plus, with your

creative tweaks, of course your friends will be chuffed, Alison!

H

ello there. I’ve stitched

the ‘Seaside Puffin’ just

like Maria Hutchinson, who

is on the letters page of issue

280 (May 2019). She wrote

that she was unsure how to

finish her puffin. Here is mine

in a framed picture, which

I gave to my friend for her

birthday as she likes puffins.

Julie Reade,

via email

Sue: Thanks, Julie. This lovely

chart is by Amanda Gregory

and featured in issue 255

(April 2017) of the mag.

I

stitched this customised chart from KLT Charting for my

dog’s groomer, which I did on hand-dyed KLT fabric. She

is a mobile groomer with the amazing looking Oggie and is

always fully booked! I thought you’d like to feature this.

Kirsty Nash, via email

Tina: Well, isn’t your dog’s groomer looking super pleased

with your customised cross stitch, Kirsty? This is a fun idea.

PERFECT POOCHES

Here is Kirsty’s dear

dog-groomer and chart!
