Our cover is in full bloom with a pretty pastel Easter bough, adorned with the cutest hanging decorations – egg-citing stitching is guaranteed!
Inside, you’ll find a host of fresh ideas to inspire your stitching: tackle the Rain or Shine sampler with brollies and parasols, add beads to your very own festival elephant, create a 3D bird feeder hanging decoration, and stitch a delicate larkspur design with a matching ‘seed packet’ card. To top it all off, there’s a magical spring goddess hoop set in a woodland scene, complete with adorable animals.
PLUS, stitch the latest book in our Library SAL and create personalised projects with our sail boats alphabet.
