As part of our eco theme we’re bringing you this fabulous underwater scene from Cross Stitch Collection magazine. We all know of the threats to wildlife and the coral reefs - stitching this beautiful scene will remind everyone of the natural beauties we want to protect.

It’s shattering to learn that this underwater scene is something that could one day become nothing but a memory. With coral reefs under increasing threat, and six out of seven species of marine turtles now listed as endangered or critically endangered, this picture is a reminder to us all to care about our environment.
