Sam Hawkins Celebrates Cross Stitch
The problem with stitching addicts is that once every surface is covered, what can they do next? Hawkins uncovers a bundle of other ways to use cross-stitch in the house and as gifts. Try, for example, a pansy clock (the face is decorated with flowers), or ring cushions for that special walk down the aisle. The more than 40 projects--plus many more embroidery designs--feature a cartoonlike style bordering on realism; unfortunately, charts and instructions are separated by a couple of pages. This is an excellent book for those who never get enough of flossing and needling. Templates, steps in essential techniques, and suppliers, appended.Barbara JacobsCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
