June Cross Stitch News

 

 

Two exciting bits of news this month!

Firstly Bothy Threads have licensed two Pepper and Friends designs for their counted cross stitch kits. Pepper the playful puppy was first licensed for paper-craft in 2010 and I'm thrilled to see the little cutey in stitch now!

I will be running a competition on my Facebook page next month to win a kit, so please remember to follow me HERE!

 

 

Secondly, the lovely team at World Of Cross Stitching turned one of my Riverbank Revels illustrations into a cross design. The mouse caravan is in issue number 205 and looks fabulous as a stitched design!

 

Cross Stitch Crazy Magazine

Here's the Pepper and Friends' kitten that has been licensed by Cross Stitch Crazy magazine (issue 163 / May) for the readers to create a cross stitch version. As well as the chart pattern, there's a "Meet the designer" chat with me and one lucky reader will get the chance to win an original painting from me!!

Pepper and Friends at the show!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft show at the Brighton Centre and were thrilled to see Pepper and Friends on a couple of stands! Andrea from Ali-Craft made up some samples and her mother very kindly offered to get some photo's sent over to me! Aren't crafting people thoughtful!
