CUDDLY CUSHIONS

Hello to the team at The World of Cross Stitching. I get your magazine every month, it takes a few weeks to arrive as I live in Australia but I look forward to each issue. I recently finished my first ever big project – it was the panda holding flowers from issue 290 (February 2020). My friend, whose nickname is Panda, lives two hours away from me and, because of the coronavirus rules, I can’t see her. At present she is battling breast cancer so I made the panda into a cushion and sent it to her in place of the hugs I can’t give her. Then I made the floral fox cushion from the same issue for my nine-year-old grandaughter, Charlotte, who has been asking for a fox since last year. Both recipients love their cushions.
