About Whimsical Cross-Stitch: More Than 130 Designs From
Product Description A Book of the Month Club's Crafter's Choice! Cross-stitch is a traditional hobby — but your designs don't have to be! These more than 130 patterns reflect a modern sensibility, with motifs ranging from trendy to vintage to kitschy, so there's something here for everyone. All are designed to fit into a 6-inch or smaller embroidery hoop, making them quick projects that can be finished in an evening or weekend. If you're feeling ambitious, the small designs can be assembled to form a larger piece. Patterns are organized according to theme: animals; designs, including flowers and snowflakes; home and hearth, consisting of more than 40 patterns that range from a patchwork heart and an antique sewing machine to teapots, a watering can, and variations on "home sweet home"; nature; and charming patterns for special occasions. A brief introductory section offers advice on getting started, tools and supplies, and stitching. "A treat! Cross-stitchers will love this book." — Christian Fiction and More About the Author Cari Buziak mixes old techniques (handmade gesso, egg tempera, gold leaf) and new (several Mac computers) to re-create ancient manuscripts in painted and digital form for a wide variety of merchandising and fine art needs.
