New Stitches Magazine Issue 220 Edizione posteriore

There is a wonderful selection of designs in this issue of New Stitches. On the cover you cannot miss Daisy, the African Grey parrot. With her beady eye and rich plumage she looks as if she could fly off the page. The Masterclass explores the technique of darning, not socks, but a decorative version that was popular in Dutch samplers. Lover of Hardanger will not be able to resist our collection of bands. The intricate effect of the Hardanger can be repeated as required to create edgings and appliqués. We end our series of stitchers’ accessories with a set worked in a single shade of thread. If there is a summer celebrations coming up, then one of our cheerful geranium cards will certainly fit the bill. Look out too for the second half of our fabulous traditional-style sampler.
