For sun, sand, sea and stitching, look no further than our summer issue! Our cover project features a beautiful shell display that adds a touch of coastal charm to your home. PLUS this month’s kit is a bumper one – with everything you need to create a mini beach sampler to hang and display!
Inside, we’ve packed this issue with delightful summery projects such as our trio of teacup flower planter hoops. You can also dive into a coastal collage, a cute paper and fabric pattern scene. 
Don't miss our charming alphabet featuring daisy chains, and our Wildlife Card Collection, a bumper set of adorable animal cards that are perfect for any occasion. Plus, we have an elegant ‘vintage chic’ wall hanging project, which has timeless appeal.
Rounding off the collection is a delicious kitchen herbs sampler and four on-trend cards that show ‘summer in a bottle’. As always, this issue is filled with the latest stitching news, interviews, and inspiring reader stories. Happy stitching!
