Over to you...
Who do you most
like to stitch for?
I mostly stitch things
that I like myself but
would love to give
as gifts as well.Which project are you most proud of?
A wedding present that I packed up and flew
to England. My friends absolutely loved it.How cross stitch crazy are you?
I just love stitching. It relaxes me and I love
watching a project grow from its first stitches.Which occasion gets your needle twitching?
Stitching wedding or birth samplers is one of
my favourite things to do. I almost did one
for my own wedding, but my dad told me not
to. We ended up being given three in the end,
all in different styles, and we love them!When I’m not stitching you’ll find me...
Spending time with my one-year-old son! We
craft together and go on road-trip adventures.Which cross stitch
designer would be
your dream dinner
party guest?
Jody Rice of Satsuma
Street! I love the
colour palettes that
she chooses for her designs, so I bet that
stitching with her would be colourful and fun.Who is your favourite character to stitch?
I enjoy stitching any kind of bird character
because they’re often bright and cheerful.Which occasion gets your needle twitching?
I like to make as many Christmas cards as
I can and ornaments to put inside stockings.When I’m not stitching, you’ll find me...
Playing piano, window shopping or reading
with a big cup of coffee by my side.How long ago did you start stitching?
My mum taught me when I was about eight.
She was skilled at many kinds of needlework.Which project are you
most proud of?
The ones that I sell
for charity. It’s very
worthwhile and gives
me much pleasure. Typically, I stitch and sell
Christmas ornaments for charity.How would you describe your stitching style?
Voracious! Time not stitching is time wasted.Who do you most like to stitch for?
For loved ones, friends and charity. I get
excited when I hear of a happy event as I can
start thinking about the design I’ll stitch for it!How cross stitch crazy are you?
I only started stitching in 2014 and I now have
a room dedicated to all my stitching supplies.When I’m not stitching, you’ll find me...
Searching for charts online – I do love a freebie
or a bargain! – or looking at people’s WIPs in
one of my many stitching Facebook groups.Alice Albarda
