Charity Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Whether for someone who's been touched by cancer or simply a rosy greeting, these are the perfect feminine treat. Sometimes we all need a bit of compassion and warmth, and these beautiful pastel cards are just the thing for those battling breast cancer or who've been touched by the disease. Show your support with a pink ribbon and some pretty hearts, or stitch up some 'love and hope'. If you know someone who needs a laugh, stitch and send Jane's fun 'Here to support you' bra design. All designs are stitched on 14-count aida in five lovely shades of pink. With whole stitches only, and a bit of backstitch, these will be a breeze to finish. Stitch one over the weekend and send it on it's way. In honour of October being international Breast Cancer Awareness Month, why not stitch these cards for charity? They're copyright-free so host a coffee morning to sell your wares or join local stitchers for a stitchy sale! There are a number of breast cancer charities in the UK and abroad, and if you need further inspiration, turn to page 77 and check out our featured Charity of the Month.
