Australian animals and plants make attractive designs for working in cross-stitch. And there is no need to buy expensive individual sewing kits: this book presents 26 patterns for articles embroidered with cross-stitch, including a motif to decorate a bath towel, a cushion cover, greeting cards, an embroidered picture frame and many more. Details of all the materials needed are given along with easy-to-follow instructions from start to finish. There are also beautiful colour pictures of the finished articles. Some of the motifs are small and simple - ideal for beginners, children and those of us who have limited time. Others are larger projects with intricate designs for spectacular results.
