HOME SWEET HOME
I’ve stitched the ‘Christmas Village’ from issues 312 (November 2021), 313 (December 2021) and 314 (Special 2021) to sit on my hearth. I’ve been stitching for more than 30 years, after a long spell in hospital when a fellow patient suggested it as a form of relaxation. I enjoy stitching a variety of projects including birth samplers, photos stitches and Cornish landscapes by Emma Louise Art Stitch, one of your designers. When I saw this project, I immediately thought ‘what a lovely thing to stitch’. It took nearly five months for me to complete. It was a wonderful project to work on and if there are ever any more shops or buildings to expand it, I would definitely stitch them. I got the little street lamps on the internet as I thought it would add to the scene. I’m going to look for some small figures in scale that I can add to my village display as well.

Hannah F: Excellent work, Sue! The street lamps are the perfect finishing touch. I hope you’ll enjoy stitching Fiona Baker’s gingerbread houses on p64 to add to your collection.
