Love Embroidery – October 2021

"Get set for a Christmas of stitching with Love Embroidery issue 20! We’ll show you how to stitch our magnificent reindeer cover star, make quick-sew gifts for your loved ones, deck your halls with the most exquisite two-hoop wreath and more.

Inside this issue, we’re spreading festive cheer with machine-stitched bauble bunting, a simple-sew stocking, featuring stylish tree motifs, and a trendy cushion that combines paint and thread to make stand-out lettering. And we’ve got a set of mini fabric crackers you’ll love, a pretty pincushion to sew for your craft space (or as a quick stocking filler), and a pair of gorgeous floral mittens embellished using colourful yarns.

Plus, discover the magic of padded satin stitch in our fairy lights hoop, sew a snowflake dress little ones will adore and recreate a wintry landscape using fabric and thread. We also sit down with Miriam Polak of Slow Evenings to chat all-things serene and get her top tips on keeping your embroidery calm, and we go behind the scenes with Sophie Timms of Mindful Mantra Embroidery to find out what inspires her stitching. There’s all this and more to enjoy this issue! What will you stitch first?"
