I
have just finished hoop-framing a tiny project
sent to Wishes Granted in your magazine.
Bobby B was my ‘flatmate’, but after a good year,
he got old and passed away. I wrote in and asked
Jenny to chart him and I was so happy to find him in
your magazine! Here he is now, in full framed glory and
hanging on my notice board. Thanks to Jenny for a brilliant
effort on her design.
Jo Arnell, via email
Sue: It must be really exciting for you, Jo, to see Bobby B
in a custom design in the magazine, and now again in your
completed cross stitching! Thanks so much for your email.
Gold leaf
A
utumn is my favourite
season of the year and I
wanted to share with you my
most amazing cross stitched
leaf. It’s a Dimensions kit from
the Reflections collection
called ‘Golden Thought’. When
I saw this kit I knew I had to
buy it, but when I eventually
stitched it, I fell in love! This is
the magic of Dimensions kits –
they turn out even better than
you expect.

Emily: We love Autumn, too,
Anna! What a fab design with
intricate shading and texture.
H
ere is my finished design, for my friend’s birthday.
My mum was kind enough to finish it off beautifully,
as she is a whizz at doing things like this. It wasn’t a quick
project with all that backstitch on it, which isn’t my favourite
thing, but I did persevere and this is the result! Thanks for all
the advice in the magazines over the years.
Anna Baynton, via email
Tina: We like that you stuck with it and got the project
done, Anna, as it’s such a pretty design. Plus, how clever
and kind is your mum to help with it? Great teamwork!
SEEING IS BELIEVING
A
big hello to The World
of Cross Stitching. I have
just finished this birth sampler
for my friend’s niece. They
wanted it done for her by
Christmas and I managed to
get it finished before then.
I’m very proud of it and how
it has turned out in the end.
I thought I’d send a photo
of it to share with you, as
it is certainly my best piece
to date. I have been cross
stitching for years, and I really
love it as a hobby and as
something I can do for others,
to give as keepsakes.

Hannah: Fantastic work,
Kimberley. What little princess
wouldn’t adore this amazing
birth sampler, with Cinderella,
Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Sleeping
Beauty and Snow White?
Lots of little girls love these
magical, happily-ever-after
Disney Princesses, and this
special gift is something your
friend’s niece can cherish
beyond her childhood.
I love the colourful
lettering you’ve chosen for
the name – with so many
bright colours, no wonder
you enjoyed this project. Do
keep your finished project pics
coming and let us know what
else you’re working on!
