Harry Potter gets stitched up!

Look what we've found! The Guardian has given a fabulous write-up for our latest Stitch A Star chart in issue 216, none other than Daniel Radcliffe himself! With the release of Half-Blood Prince this month it just had to be done, especially considering the multitudes of requests we've had for him ever since we started our Stitch A Star series.

Morrissey, anyone? Which star would you stitch?

Harriet's just charted a really cool Stitch a Star project. I can't tell you who it is just yet, but I can say it's someone a little different to anyone we've 'stitched up' before.

We'd always love to hear who you'd like to see in stitches. Email us your suggestions, or leave a comment on the end of this thread. Personally, I'd like to stitch Morrissey in time for his 50th birthday in May, but I appear to be a minority of one in the CrossStitcher office!
