Whimsical Cross-Stitch: More Than 130 Designs from Trendy to Traditional | Cari Buziak

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

A Book of the Month Club's Crafter's Choice! Cross-stitch is a traditional hobby — but your designs don't have to be! These more than 130 patterns reflect a modern sensibility, with motifs ranging from trendy to vintage to kitschy, so there's something here for everyone. All are designed to fit into a 6-inch or smaller embroidery hoop, making them quick projects that can be finished in an evening or weekend. If you're feeling ambitious, the small designs can be assembled to form a larger piece. Patterns are organized according to theme: animals; designs, including flowers and snowflakes; home and hearth, consisting of more than 40 patterns that range from a patchwork heart and an antique sewing machine to teapots, a watering can, and variations on "home sweet home"; nature; and charming patterns for special occasions. A brief introductory section offers advice on getting started, tools and supplies, and stitching.

4.5āļø¸ This books is exactly what the title says it is. The patterns are suited to beginners, with easy charts, and colorful lines to help a novice differentiate everything. This chart uses symbols in the patterns rather than numbers with make it easier to read, and at the very beginning, there is a brief guide on how to get started. This would be a great crafting book for kids, or adults: anyone who wants to start and actually finish a project.
