Cross Stitch Collection 172

Does any of you good people have a copy of this mag? I've been told it's from July 2009 and there is a Maria Diaz stitch in there called 'village green' or something like that to do with cricket. I will happily pay for it.

French poster - SAL *Finished*

I'm off again, doing the French poster that was in a recent Xstitcher mag. It's the one where there's a lass leaning on her bike with the eiffel tower in the background. It's on 14 count, but done in 3 strands. I'll have a pic later of progress so far! :wip:

I like the others am not sure about a white frame but is also depends on the colours in you bathroom. :thinks: I often buy frames in wilkinsons as it is really hard to get the square ones.
