With the 100+ motif and border patterns in this book, it's easy to combine them to make your own personal cross-stitch designs. The 21 unique cross-stitch alphabets, made to coordinate with the motifs in a variety of styles-floral, lacy, Christmas and more-allow you to add words to complement your ideas. From flowers to cottages and houses, birds and animals to holiday and sampler-style motifs, there is so much to choose from! Borders add a professional touch to your designs, and a variety of letter styles help you personalize with names or meaningful words. Each motif is presented in chart form with a color key for ease of reference and a finished, worked example to show how the patterns should look when complete. If you are new to cross stitch or new to designing, an introduction to the craft covers all of the tools and equipment needed and demonstrates basic cross-stitch techniques from start to finish, plus gives instructions on how to graph and use your designs. Based on a simple grid and one basic stitch, cross stitch is easy to learn and master, so get started mixing and matching these beautiful designs into your one-of-a-kind creations!
Jane Greenoff is one of the most popular cross stitch designers in the world, and the author of 15 books, including The Cross Stitcher's Bible. Jane lives with her family in a converted barn in Fairford, Gloucestershire.
This book is a nice collection of quick patterns that allows you to match up separate elements to compose your own finished pieces. Because the patterns are basically spot patterns they can be applied to small projects such as cuffs or collars or bookmarks. I think this is a good book for beginners or stitchers who are looking for quick references.--Lee Gairg-Meyer-- "Amazon.Com Review" This is a great book! If you are a beginner this can help you get started with cross stitching, and if you are already a pro, it gives you a lot of new ideas! I would definetly reccommend this book for all cross stitchers out there. I will be starting my Christmas gifts early this year, and making everybody cross stitch pieces. This will allow me to give each family member something special, and it will not cost a fortune!--Nathan & Leah-- "Amazon.Com Review"
