In this issue, we’re showcasing a variety of truly inspiring designs. For animal lovers, we have a stunning blue tit project which captures the delicate beauty of this charming bird. If you’re in the mood for something a little more whimsical, why not try your hand at stitching a playful giraffe? For those drawn to nature, we have a gorgeous cottage garden project brimming with a range of beautiful florals, as well as a detailed pansy design, and an enchanting moon project. We also feature the next chapter of the incredible phenology wheel. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’ve included a cute heart design — perfect for spreading love and creativity. But Stitch is more than just projects. We’re also shining a spotlight on the talented artists who bring these designs to life. Through exclusive interviews, we offer a glimpse into their creative processes and the inspiration behind their beautiful work. Alongside this, we also find out about a local embroidery club, where creativity meets community. All this, plus much more!
