What would you make if you got your hands on a whole year's worth of stitching stash? Just think of all the goodies you could create! Our friends over at our sister site The Making Spot are offering you the chance to win just that - an entire year's worth of craft supplies.

Stitchers will get their hands on a new cross stitch kit from Anchor every month. Or, if knitting or papercrafts are more your bag, you can choose a year's supply of yarn or a pile of goodies from American Crafts instead.

And they're being generous enough to spread the love with everyone - all entrants will get 25% off orders from The Making Spot, even if you fail to bag the main prize.

CrossStitcher issue 248 goes on sale tomorrow, packed full of goodies for you to win including this gorgeous Sampler Workbook by Caroline Vincent.
