Many of you will be enjoying the
warmer weather at the moment,
and possibly stitching outside
to make the most of it! Well, we
certainly have some bright and
sunny projects for you to enjoy
al fresco. Summer strawberries anyone? Try Fiona
Baker’s delicious-looking fruity basket on page 44!
Our delicate rose fairy (p4) and vivid dahlia cushion
(p34) are a treat for lovers of floral designs, or why not
stop and enjoy the view with our tranquil lakeside
scene (p18) and coastal clifftop design (p12).
My favourite project has to be the Alpine chalet
(p26) – Lesley Teare has brought so much depth and
colour to this scene, and I can’t wait to see the next
instalment in this seasonal series! Elsewhere, mark
those special occasions with a charming wedding
sampler (p50) and new baby cards (p60) – both
adorable, with furry friends to help you celebrate!
Enjoy the summer everyone, and don’t forget to
get in touch at [email protected] with your
letters and photos. We always love to hear from you!
