New Stitches Magazine Issue 254 Back Issue

Summer is coming! To celebrate we have the most dazzling bouquet of freesias on the front cover! The colour and fine detail of the flowers will make this a design a joy to stitch and a piece to treasure in your home for many years to come. You can discover how to use up any leftover multicolour threads with Mary's Masterclass this month which matches strandeds to a variety of Caron threads. With Father's Day coming up we have some designs perfect for Dads for other occasions too. Our gardens will be teeming soon with insect visitor so we have captured a few of the nice ones in cross stitch! Hardanger fans will find a project worked in half scale for a delicate, lace look and there is the second part of our traditional sampler plus some tiles inspired by Delftware.
