T
ravel to Paris from
the comfort of your
living room as you
stitch this springtime
design, featuring the famous
Eiffel Tower. Lesley has perfectly
captured the romance of the
landmark, with the striking
magnolias that grow at its
base and a few delicate blue
butterflies in the air. As you
work your way through the
whole stitches, let your mind
drift to thoughts of the bustling
cafés, boutiques and museums
of the city. Then, when you’veadded the backstitch details,
try making your stitch up into
a stylish hanging or cushion to
give your home décor a fresh
Parisian look – after all, Paris
is always a good idea! ●Need to know
