A NEW ARRIVAL

purchased issue 303 (February 2021) and saw Nia Rhind’s ‘Welcome Little One’ design that appeared in the Designer Spotlight feature. I knew right away that this would be perfect for my son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Helen, who were expecting their first child and have three rabbits! I sent away for the design, which arrived on the day of Clara Grace’s birth and quickly got to work stitching. I completed it today (six days later).

I took up cross stitch when I retired. It’s a great hobby and very relaxing.

Hannah E: This really is a perfect pressie, John. I bet Helen and Joe were thrilled and I’m sure Clara Grace will treasure this as she grows up. I’m a big fan of Nia Rhind’s signature style which is perfectly suited to nursery stitches like this one.
