About the Book

I am delighted to present this practical collection of cross-stitch project cards.  A lovely compilation of exciting ideas to stitch for family & friends or for yourself. I have grouped the cards so each design can be worked individually or as part of a set.

 

Using a limited color palette and very little backstitch, the patterns are easy to follow. The cards themselves are practical to use, being of a small size.

I have tried to generate a very vintage feel to this collection, using silhouettes and old-fashioned sewing patterns to create the figurative charts.

 

Some of the cards use flowers as inspiration, generating beautiful postcard-style designs. There are also classic wedding and baby birth designs, using clean, soft colors throughout, forming an attractive collections of charts.

I am a freelance needlecraft designer whose work is published regularly in magazines and books worldwide. Specialising in cross stitch, it is the variety of subjects and styles I get to explore that makes my work so versatile. I love researching different ideas and playing with design styles sometimes incorporating more complicated stitches, although it is incredible what you can achieve just using simple cross & back stitches.
