Cross stitch : projects, techniques, motifs

More about the book

The volumes in this series are intended either as stand-alone works on various aspects of needlework, or as a set. This guide to cross stitch introduces the materials, equipment and basic techniques of the craft, progressively building skills and applying them to the projects suggested. A selection of designs are offered, including traditional samplers, a sheet turn-back, a blanket for a child's bed and an edging for a dresser shelf. All instructions, both for the stitches and techniques, and for the projects, are clearly explained and illustrated with step-by-step colour artwork and photographic details.
