Letters
Special
occasions
I thought you would like to
see my latest projects from
issue 94 of Cross
Stitch Gold. The
Home Sweet Home
card is for my very
good neighbours
who are moving,
and I wanted to do
something special for
them. The Sweet Baby
card is for my friend’s
daughter who is expecting her first
child and it’s a girl, hence the pink
surround. I hope you like them.
Joyce Williams, Buckley
Zeena: They’re lovely, Joyce. I’m
so pleased that you’re still finding
charts from our old issues to stitch.
Cherry picked
This is my stitched piece featuring
cherry blossoms with butterfly and birds,
embellished with Mill Hill seed beads and
sequins. The pattern was from issue 148
and designed by Faby Reilly. Although

it was for a cushion
cover, I decided to
frame it as I was
afraid that the
beads and sequins
would be snagged
when the cushion
is hugged. I used
double matte
board so that
the beads are
not touched by the glass.

Zeena: This looks stunning as a picture, Monica
- you’ve done such a great job with the framing.
Spring stitch
Looking through old issues, I found this
wonderful project by Angela Poole in issue
145 and I couldn’t resist – I stitched it in three
days! Now, in my bedroom, it is officially
springtime – thanks Cross Stitch Gold.
Camilla Maffiuletti, Italy
Zeena: How fresh and pretty they look, Camilla.
I’m sure your bedroom is so relaxing now.
Crazy for
coffee
I wanted to share with you
my finished coffee pot
design from issue 146 of
Cross Stitch Gold. As soon
as I saw this design from
Emma Congdon I knew it
was something I’d enjoy
stitching. I have just gifted
it to my friend for her
birthday – I thought the
70s design was appropriate
as we were both born in
the mid 70s!
Yaina Davies, by email
Zeena: What a fabulous
finish, Yaina – I love the
coffee-coloured frame
you’ve chosen. Thanks for
sharing it with us!
