One Stitch Ahead
Hello, stitching friends! It is with great pleasure that we bring to you this brand-new issue of Just CrossStitch! Bursting with fresh, vibrant designs, the Spring 2024 issue embraces the season and the changes and growth it brings.
In that same spirit, our team has been channeling their innovative ideas and creative inspiration to bring you more amazing designs and interesting content than ever before. If you haven’t already felt the change in your fingertips, we’ve added a whopping 16 pages to this publication and will do so on all regular issues going forward!
Another exciting change is that a Just CrossStitch subscription now includes both the Halloween and Christmas special issues, in addition to four regular quarterly issues. So, if you haven’t already become a subscriber, the time is now!
Aside from the creative designs, detailed charts and unique finishing ideas that you’ve come to expect, you will now see some exciting new features like The Flossy Flock on page 48. We cross stitchers belong to a community that loves to share and inspire, so let us know what’s happening in your stitching journey. A glimpse from your story could get published! Also, for those who are new to the craft or might need a refresher, we now include cross-stitch basics in every issue.
As spring blooms and Easter approaches, fill your must-stitch list with our beautiful collection of designs. Don’t miss the all-new SAL for 2024, Hummingbird Garden Stitchalong on page 21. This striking four-part design will keep your needle buzzing all year long. We’ve even done all the work of gathering the materials for you! Purchase your kit from Annie’s and get stitching before the crocuses even begin to poke up through the ground.
To round out this jam-packed issue, we’ve filled the pages with all sorts of finishing techniques. See how a discovery at the craft store or antique shop, or even in your own cabinet, can serve as the ideal backdrop to showcase your stitching! Look for the Fun Finish graphic.
