Wild Flowers in Cross Stit

This book, by emphasizing the importance of design, colour and texture, aims to demonstrate the way cross-stitch - always popular as a simple and easily mastered needlework technique - can be developed and extended. Projects vary in size and complexity from a small table napkin to greeting cards, scented sachets, curtain tie-backs, cushions, mirror frames, padded boxes and bath linen, and offer variety to novice and expert alike. Ten chapters take a different wild flower as a source of inspiration and detailed, step-by-step instructions are given for designs using the colour charts provided.
