Then, you’ve come to the right place! Megan Capon, aka @nutmeg_embroidery, is making her LE debut this issue with a glorious coastal-themed cover star hoop (p14). It’s packed with tons of immersive details for you to lean into, from cute cottages and swaying sea-grasses, to sweet little boats bobbing on the water and a couple looking out across the bay. It’s the perfect pattern to help you unwind with after a long day, marrying the ebb and flow of needle passing through fabric and waves breaking on the shore. And speaking of relaxing makes, our dandelion card design (p11) is a speedy and satisfying sew, that’s small enough to stitch on the go, whip up during toddler naps, or take outside and stitch in the sunshine...
