We're sad to say that the last ever Cross Stitch Collection goes on sale on Friday! Here is the official press release that we thought readers may like to see...

Dennis Publishing have today announced that women's specialist title Cross Stitch Collection, Britain's oldest cross stitch magazine will cease publication. The March edition (issue 272) will be the last on the newsstand. Launched in 1991, Cross Stitch Collection led the growth of the cross stitch sector with record sales and subscription figures. Launch Editors, Susan and Martin Penny, returned to the title in 2015 when it was acquired by Dennis Publishing. Susan Penny says: "It's been an incredible honour to be at the helm of Britain's longest-running cross stitch publication. We were the first to add a stitch kit to every magazine and are proud to have led an incredibly competitive market. Closing a magazine is never an easy decision, particularly with one as highly regarded as Collection. It has been a delight to have the opportunity to work on Collection twice, and it will be sorely missed by the many amazing staff, talented designers, model stitchers and loyal readers who have enjoyed every last page of Collection over the years."

We hope you enjoy this last edition, which is full of the things that made Collection special. Please do join us at Cross Stitcher magazine, where we have lots of exciting new designs planned for the coming months :)

Susan will be available to answer your questions here for the next couple of hours. Please be nice, as we are as devastated as you are!
