New Stitches Magazine Issue 259 Back Issue

As the autumn sets in, there is no better time to settle somewhere warm and lose yourself in an enjoyable stitching project. We love the wonderfully nostalgic merry-go-round horses in this month's issue which conjure up memories of all the fun of the fair. Every garden has a robin visiting it and, as bold as they are, they never stay for long. We have a splendid jolly robin redbreast in a garland of holly that will look marvellous in your home this winter. The Christmas stitching season is in full swing and we have an amazing collection of cards for you to stitch and send. Big, small, traditional, modern and even ones to personalise, there is sure to be something that a friend or family member would love to receive. We have a very special Masterclass indeed from medieval embroidery specialist Tanya Bentham who unravels the mysteries of that revered form of embroidery, Opus Anglicanum with a beautiful Virgin Mary design.
