25 Nostalgic Designs to Make and Cherish
In this glorious collection of cross-stitch pictures, motifs and projects, Debbie Minton is in nostalgic mood. From exquisite crinolines to high-buttoned boots, this book evokes past times. The designs range from Victorian children and old-fashioned birth samplers to nursery scenes, traditional toys and gorgeous hats. There are turn-of-the-century floral motifs, and idyllically peaceful outdoors scenes which capture the spirit of golden afternoons. Detailed hand-coloured charts and colour photographs of the finished projects make working each piece simple, and a comprehensive techniques chapter explains all the terms used and the materials needed. The book includes over 25 beautiful designs to stitch and ideas for stitching pictures, cards, trinket boxes and cushions.
