Over to You
H
i there to The World of Cross Stitching team! This is my
completed cross stitch called ‘Creating a Buzz’ by Emma
Congdon, from issue 269 of the magazine.
I started it last summer but put it to one side to work on
other projects for Halloween
and Christmas, to get them
done in time. I’m thrilled
with the way this one has
turned out, and I love that
there’s so much detail. I give
a lot of my stitching away,
but I will be keeping this
one. It’s a reminder that
summer is finally here!
Yaina Davies,
via email
Tina: We love that you
dedicated your efforts to
getting this done because
you loved it so much – and
doesn’t the finished result
look bee-autiful? There is a
lot going on in this design
from Emma Congdon,
including fractionals and
backstitch, but the extra
effort is so worth it. Long
live those hard-working
honey bees!

T
his is my latest Afghan blanket of
teapots and tea cups, which I just
finished. It looks very nice over the back of
my settee. I am now attempting another
blanket of large butterflies done in
blackwork, but using variegated threads.
Also, I have plans for a Japanese-themed
blanket and am poring through back issues
of your magazine for ideas and inspiration.
Janet Smith, Glenrothes
Sue: Great work! Wow, you like to go
large with your stitching, don’t you Janet?
It is so impressive – do send us a pic of your
finished butterfly and Japanese creations.

his design from issue 275
reminds me of Disney’s
Pinocchio song, ‘When You
Wish Upon A Star’, which
in turn reminds me of my
grandad who passed 20 years
ago. I used iridescent aida to
add a bit more sparkle!
Sally Walker, Birstall
Emily: We love that this
is a daily reminder of your
grandad, Sally. It’s lovely.
