Pick ‘n’ mix

I absolutely loved stitching this

colourful design by Lucie Heaton.

Not only can you stitch this chart

just by using your spare odds and

ends of thread, it’s also so easy

to pick up and put down! I could

stitch a leaf anytime I had a few

spare minutes. Thanks again for

the lovely ideas in Crazy!

Margaret Henderson, Newbottle

Katie says: This is such a great

stash-busting project, Margaret!

I love the frame you chose, too.

Elegant stitches

Hello, everyone at Crazy! I just wanted to

show you my recent finished piece from

issue 251. I really enjoyed stitching this

beautiful design! I stitched her for myself

and now she’s sat in a frame on my shelf.

Kelly-Marie Bateman, Leyton

Emily says: This is wonderful, Kelly-Marie!

I’m not surprised that you kept her –

I wouldn’t be able to part with a finish like

this! The pretty flowers in the geisha’s hair

and her delicate floral fan will make your

home feel like spring all year round, too.

Make a friend’s day

Hello, Crazy team! I’m sending lots of

stitchy greetings your way. I just finished

stitching this little unicorn chart from the

Challenge Lucie section in issue 240.

I stitched it to make a card for my friend

Pat, who lives in the Lake District.

Linda Pijnenburg, Cumbria

Lou says: It’s such a delight to give

special gifts that are made especially

for their recipients. In fact, I’d say

it’s one of my favourite things about

stitching! I love the bright colours of

this design – it’s a top choice for

a card. Your friend Pat is sure to be thrilled

when she receives this thoughtful gift.

Happily

ever after

I worked on this project

for more than three

years, starting when

my daughter was only

one year old. Now she’s

nearly five years old,

and I’ve finally finished

it and had it framed for

her. As you can see,

she’s very happy with

the finished design!

It’s a Bothy Threads kit

by Julia Rigby. It was a challenging

but fun project to stitch as a gift.

Sarah Clarke, Suffolk

Alison says: Your daughter will treasure this for years, Sarah,

knowing her mum made it especially for her. Julia Rigby always

creates such vibrant pieces. If you fancy stitching another one of

her projects, turn to page 10 for her colourful funfair scene.
