This spring marks our 20th anniversary and we're kicking-off the celebrations with a fabulous Easter-themed 250th issue. Plus, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and Easter just around the corner - there's plenty of reasons to get stitching.

We're really proud to finally be able to show you the results of our collaboration with pottery designer Emma Bridgewater. To commemorate the Jubilee, we've taken some of her original artwork and transformed it into a cross stitch chart so you can stitch it for your home.

Your FREE gift this month contains everything you need to make a bright and bold needle case. Use the soluble canvas provided to stitch straight onto the felt for a really professional finish. If you've never used soluble canvas, here's your chance. * Subscribe and save at www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk
