Nature

From flowers to animals, the wealth of cross stitch designs in this book are inspired by nature. The floral patterns include both individual flowers and larger floral scenes, such as a charming country cottage in a garden setting, a summer house by the sea, a garden scene which incorporates a pretty garden shed, and a decorative floral garland. Choose from small designs to make into greetings cards, coasters, purses, and embellishing clothes, along with larger designs which could be used to make framed pictures, cushions, tea towels, and notebook covers. Included are easy-to-follow colour and symbol charts. AUTHOR: Susan Bates has created designs for large department stores in London and for other publishing companies in England.
