Cross Stitch Sampler Book 

Inspired by a wide variety of subjects-the natural world; the shapes, colors, and patterns of pottery designs of the 1950s and 1960s; sweets and cakes; baby toys and clothes; parties and special occasions; and crafts such as sewing, knitting, and patchwork-this collection of cross-stitch motifs has something for everyone. The designs can be stitched as one whole piece or used to embellish items such as tea towels, aprons, tablecloths, pillowcases, shopping bags, make-up bags, purses, and clothing: any textile item you’d like to decorate. The book includes easy-to-follow cross-stitch charts and boasts an easy-to-carry size. With a wealth of design options, any crafter can be as creative as he or she likes.
