April's Cross Stitcher Magazine

I am a sad muppet, I only discovered this magazine last month and it's fast becoming my favourite.  How did I not know about this one, they are on issue 251!  The thing I love about this magazine is that it's different from the others, I am not say I don't like the others far from it I love them all, but this one has a bit more stylish designs in it.  I will stitch anything but for me to put it in a frame on the wall it's got to be something special and I have found quite a few designs in the past two issues that I am itching to start.

 This month we got a lovely John James Pebble free with the magazine with 4 needles inside.  I got the lovely green coloured one.

 I really like the idea of these DMC colour sample charts....

 And this blackwork looks good too, although Im not a huge fan of backstitch, I think I would enjoy stitching these.

 This birth sampler is really pretty, I just need someone to have a baby now so I can make it.

 I just can't wait for next months issue!!!!
