CrossStitcher | Summer 2026
Welcome to the Summer issue of CrossStitcher! This month is a double kit special – with both a hothouse design, complete with an illustrated hanger, and a cute cactus ornament – the perfect kits to take on holiday with you as they include everything you need to complete them!
Our cover project further emphasises the summer theme with our Italian coastal scene, coupled with an artist’s painting in progress. The perfect project to help you ‘escape’ to the Mediterranean.
Inside, the issue is packed with more sunshine-filled projects! Our latest season spot sampler featured a caravan, palm trees and many other summery treats. If you’re heading to the beach, make sure you stitch our sunny sunglasses case first – and for those staying home, our floral vase cover will brighten a bedroom or living room in an instant. PLUS: we’ve packed in over 50 motifs to our special Nursery collection – mix and match them to make a circus sampler and lots of smaller projects, too.
Our popular Library Stitch-A-Long continues with the top section of books to stitch, and the alphabet this month has a sweet Fairytale Magic theme – featuring charming potions, woodland trees and animals.
Your summer of stitching starts here!!
