Welcome to the August issue of CrossStitcher! Our cover star is a totally tropical cushion, perfect for brightening your sofa with a hummingbird and exotic blooms. Plus! There is a bumper kit to enjoy – with everything you need to stitch up a scenic harbour card, plus four greetings stickers to choose from. That’s not all – you also get four bonus woodland charms with ideas on using them inside the issue! I

Inside, you’ll find a fresh crop of creative projects! Pack a basket for our cute mouse picnic scene, or celebrate in style with cards for big birthdays from 40 to 70. Holiday dreamers can make a splash with two ocean hoops worked in blues, or dive into a gorgeous view of a Venice canal, complete with gondola.

Plus, our new Italian landscapes alphabet features sunny scenes, while a flower seeds tin and Thomas Hardy’s house offer plenty of traditional charm.
