HAVE YOU EVER
wondered why we
stitchers
never go all-out for
Easter
in the
same
way we do for
Christmas?You don't see halfas many Easter
eggs
and
baby
chicks
decking out people's
homes as
you do
angels and reindeer at
Cln'istmas
time, But Easter is
a brilliant time ofyear to be throwing
fim
gatherings
for friends and family - the weather's a lot
nicer
for a
start! Just imagine... a sunny afternoon in the
garden,
complete
with handstitched table linen,
and
spring­
themed bunting...Then there's plenty ofscope
for
cute gifts to accompany those Easter
eggs!
Like
the idea?We did too, which is why we've
packed this issue with the most gorgeous and
fim
Easter designs you'll fmd
anywhere
this season.Take
a look at Margaret Sherry's marvellous
set
on page 16,
and
the
oh-so-cute bunny
fmger
puppets
by
Diane
Machin on page 9. Resist them
if
you can!
Oh, and don't forget to book
your
tickets for the
Stitch
&
Craft Show
(see page
42) ifyou
haven't
already.
It's
the
biggest
event
ofthe stitching
year
and

not be
missed - see
you
there!
