Totally tropical

This perfect pair of toucans would make a great gift for a

loving duo, perhaps as an alternative wedding gift. The tropical

palette makes this project simply irresistible for anyone who

loves colour – we adore the contrast between the background

in warm shades of red

and orange, and the

cooler shades of blue

and purple on the birds.

Toucan (KCTU1503)

measures 14.5x19.5cm

on 14-count white aida,

and comes with DMC

stranded cottons and

everything else you

will need, priced at

£23.75 for the kit.

BEEAUTIFUL

Celebrate our garden friend, the bumble

bee, with this kaleidoscopic design from

Awesome Pattern Studio (£3.74). We can't get

enough of these stunning colours, ranging from deep

purple and dark brown to pale lemon and white,

with splashes of golden yellow, hot pink and more in

between! At 97x97 stitches, this eye-catching piece

measures 17.5x17.5cm (7x7in) on 14-count aida or

28-count evenweave, and looks fab in a hoop, but

equally stunning with a more traditional framed

finish. To make things easy, you can choose from five

chart styles when

you download the

pattern, including

Black and White

Symbols, Colour

Symbols or simple

Colour Blocks.
