Cross Stitch Gold - UK (2020-04)

Contents

Birthdays, a new baby, a thank

you card – there are always plenty

of reasons to stitch for others, but

how often do you stitch a project

just for you? Here’s the perfect

chance to choose something

special that you really love – perhaps one of our

spring scenes, such as the cuddly baby hares on

page 12, or our pretty jug of spring blooms in the

windowsill (p28). They’ll add a breath of fresh air to

your home. Or maybe you’re already looking forward

to the long, lazy days of summer... in which case you’ll

love our bright floral cushion (p50), idyllic courtyard

scene (p4), and Maria Diaz’s swinging girl on page 44

• so carefree and fun!

Whichever season you’re stitching for, I hope

these projects will help set the scene so that you

can be surrounded by beauty at all times. For more

inspiration, check out what your fellow stitchers have

been up to on our Letters page (p11), and don’t miss

our best buys (p42) and spring kit reviews (p56).

Happy stitching!
