Issue 8 of XStitch has an international cast of designers, all of whom are sharing their love of food with some terrific designs. We’ve got main courses, drinks, a kid’s menu and a couple of designs that explore the darker side of having the Munchies. You’re gonna love it! We welcome four new designers into the XStitch family – Apple Tree Cross Stitch, The Makers’ Marks, Marina Bolmini and Sweet Annet – all of who bring unique styles to the table. From popcorn to biscuits, from the love of pizza to the hatred of diets, it’s fair to say there’s something for every taste! We’ve a great artist profile featuring the tiny stitches of Caren Garfen, a book review of Emoji Cross Stitch and Grace from Beyond Measure features the most amazing pin cushion in her latest Tooled Up column! With 20 designs for you to stitch, from 20 different designers, from nine different countries, the Munchies issue proves that the love of cross stitch is almost as almost as universal as the love of food!
