Cross Stitcher 256 sees the first design for the magazine being published after a years absense busy doing my book… and it will be the first of 5 projects over the next five issues.

For my trend column for issue 256 I have focussed on the most graphic of stripes to grace just about everything…  ZIG A ZIG AHH

Chevron love is all around as these dominant stripes are having a moment – as they have just about infiltrated every designers product and look book.  So perhaps you too may fancy a little zig-zag chic in your life!

>> 
Urban Outfitters (part of the Anthropology family) make the maddest shower curtains – so of course they have a chevron version for your bathroom
>> Why not make a statement with your own crafted chevron quilt using scraps or ready cut jelly rolls from Moda

>> Why not stitch up a little wall art by following a zig zag pattern and hanging in a hoop like Wallwork on Etsy… Or you can stitch my Zig Zag Groovy Glasses case from my book due out in September Supersize Stitches
PLUS >> Next month they have an exclusive extract and project from my new book, so it is definately worth reserving your copy of the magazine (well in my eyes anyway!)

Happy Stitching x
