Motorbike Special
Ask any motorbike enthusiast and they'll tell you there's nothing
better than a long ride on a summer's day. A cool breeze, cruising
along a country road..alright, as long as it isn't raining, which
is not that likely with our wonderful British summer!
Well, if long hot bike rides are out of the question,
or if perhaps you just need a rest after your ride, it's
a perfect opportunity for a spot of motorbike stitching.
Even if you're not a rider yourself, they're a great
stitch, something really different to the usual designs.
We also have a number of scooter designs, which are very
popular - see our bike countdown below.
Here's our latest motorbike design, hot off the
presses. It's a Harley Davidson Fat Boy caricature and I
think it looks fantastic. In fact, when I've
finished my train design that I'm on with right now, I
think I'll stitch this one!

Stitchtastic Bikes
This month's newsletter is a little bit
different, as I'd like to highlight a few of our
stitched motorbike designs that our stitchers have
sent in.
We find that many of our stitchers are very proud
of their completed designs, more so than with a lot
of the designs that they have stitched in the past.
Perhaps this is because many Stitchtastic stitchers
stitch a motorbike or car for a friend or relative,
or because the designs really are different from the
usual. Anyway, why ever they send pictures in, we're
just glad they do!
If you'd like to send us a photo of your
completed Stitchtastic work, you'll find my e-mail
address at the bottom of the newsletter, or feel
free to use snail mail, the address is on the
website.
You can see more of our stitched designs in our
gallery on the website.
