First she starts with a basic lesson in cross-stitch technique no previous experience required. Then once readers know your way around an embroidery hoop and a skein of floss the books moves on to the designs35 in total ranging from hip to nerdy to ironically domesticwhere Haley encourages crafters to embrace their inner snark with gleeful abandon.Her easy to follow instructions and colorful designs can make a cross stitcher out of anyone. In all her years of crafting Haley's learned many things but this simple fact remains one of the most important: There is absolutely nothing in this world quite so satisfying as enshrining something deeply inappropriate within the delicate stitches of a cross-stitch sampler. It's truly one of life's great delights!
