Like many across the UK, we were moved by the sad news from Manchester last week. You might have seen publicity about the Manchester Tattoo Appeal with folks getting tattoos of worker bees, a symbol of Manchester’s spirit, and donating the fee they would usually pay to charity.

Well, if you prefer a different kind of needlework, Lucie Heaton has kindly created a free cross stitch chart for you to stitch of a Manchester Worker Bee. Click the PDF below to download the chart for free. See more of Lucie's work on her website lucieheaton.com.

If you wish to donate, please follow this link for the Red Cross.

With love from the Cross Stitch Crazy team xx
