Cross Stitcher Magazine issue 381 April 2022

Cross Stitcher Magazine issue 381 April 2022 - We’re providing plenty of bloomin’ lovely inspiration, starting with our gorgeous cover project. Our cushion features a garden quote from Audrey Hepburn that’s sure to lift your spirits and have you thinking of the days of spring and summer to come. If you don’t want to make it as a cushion, it would look equally lovely hung on your wall in a hoop frame. Inside the issue, we’ve heaps more irresistible makes. Perfect as a gift or to add a decorative touch to your home, our delftware sampler is the height of elegance, and continuing the Dutch theme, we have a fully 3D windmill for you to stitch! Then why not take a break with our trio of tea-themed mini hoops, before making a start on our spring sampler, the second in our series of seasonal designs? We’ve also got the next part of our elephant blanket, a lighthouse cut-through picture, and for quick stitches look no further than our cute Easter cards. As always, we have all your favourite regular features, including must-read reader stories, designer interviews and the latest stitching news!
