555 Fabulous Cross-Stitch Patterns

Our best-selling book is filled with page after page of cross-stitch designs based on virtually every theme under, and including, the sun--truly a needleworker's delight!. Start with a quick review of the basics, then lose yourself among the patterns of Flora and Fauna, Friends and Family, Heart and Soul, Hearth and Home, Heaven and Nature, and Happy Holidays. A full-color sampler at the beginning of each section incorporates the designs that follow. For example, Family and Friends is where you will find the old adages, such as, "The ornaments of a home are the friends that frequent it", and "The best antiques are old friends." Plus each is embellished with eye-catching borders of berries, blooms and more. Give someone your Heart and Soul, by stitching such sayings as "Good friends are not forgotten, they live within your heart" or "He who plants kindness gathers love." Unique elements can be used to accompany any phrase, making it extra special, from Colonial-looking butter churns and houses to bunnies for a child's room, or mixed and matched to create a personal theme. If angels herald happiness for you, Heaven and Nature will delight. From fishes and seashells to towering trees and soaring birds, nature's beauty is here for your needle to capture. Or go beyond the earth to ethereal designs of the sun, stars, moon, and other celestial bodies. With so many designs to choose from, you will enjoy hours of delightful planning and stitching your favorites to give as gifts or keep for yourself.
