Such a sweetheart


Spring into Easter with this ‘J-
7126 Cute Bunny’ surrounded by
beautiful blooms. At 20.5x21.5cm

hanging for a
nursery.

(approx.
£12.78) kit
from PANNA*
contains all
you need to
start stitching.

Feeling green


Hop right into this quick ‘Frog
Cross Stitch Pattern Instant
Download’ from Sewingseed*
for only £3.82. Those looking
for a speedy stitch will enjoy the
6x7.5cm (2½x3in) design size
when stitched on 14-count aida,
which’ll fit just nicely into a 5in
hoop. Using only five
colours and full
cross stitches,
you’ll have
this little guy
leaping to life
in no time.

Work of art


Now you can have your own
version of one of George Stubb’s
iconic paintings thanks to this
beautiful ‘DMC The National
Gallery – Whistlejacket’ counted
cross stitch kit from LoveCrafts*.

will need
in this kit
to create
