Over to You

I

am so thrilled with this
design by Joan Elliott
called ‘Fairy of the Wind’.
It’s a new series of hers that
I plan to complete. I stitched
her on an opalescent fabric
called ‘Scattered Leaves’ by
Silkweaver Fabrics*. She took a
long time to complete but well
worth it!
Janie Holmes,
Ontario, Canada

Sue: I’m a big fan of Joan
Elliott’s designs and I have
this pattern from her ‘Faerie
Enchantments’ series on
my to-stitch list! I love the
shimmer finish with the seed
beads and Kreinik metallic
thread – this pretty fairy
really stands off the lovely
hand-dyed fabric.
Please do share the other
designs from the series once
they’re stitched – we’d love to
see how they all turn out.

our chickie design in issue

279 (April 2018) looked

adorable on my Easter basket

which I delivered to my next door

neighbour who is also a cross

stitcher. I thought you would enjoy

seeing the final result.

Emily: What a lovely idea, Jan! I bet your neighbour was very

pleased when they opened their front door to find this basket

of treats waiting for them!

It’s nice to see the designs from Jenny Barton’s Easter ‘Egg

Hunt Set’ being used in a different way. Look out for more fun

Easter-themed designs in issue 292 (April 2020), out next month.

H

i, I just wanted to share

the attached photo

with you. I have just got

back from Bulgaria. I love the

little Mouseloft* kits and my

daughter bought me this one

for Mother’s Day and I saved it

for my holiday.

These kits are ideal for

holidays – they are just the

right size for stitching on your

balcony in the afternoon when

it’s too hot to sit around the

pool or the beach!

Thank you very much for

a great magazine.

Hannah: I agree – those kits

are so handy for stitching on-

the-go or when on holiday!

I

thought I’d share with you my ‘Practically Perfect’

peacock design by Wrendale Designs that I stitched for

my nan’s birthday this year. She was completely surprised

and loved it! I really enjoyed stitching it with all the vibrant

colours, and knowing that she’ll always treasure it makes

the hours of stitching completely worth it!

Kerry Bull, Bath

Tina: Your nan looks so happy to have received your

beautiful stitched design, Kerry! Well done!
