Floral Folk Art in Cross Stitch

Jones Durene

A range of designs that are suitable for all sewing abilities. The essence of this book is to keep it simple, fun and easy to stitch. With that in mind, most of the designs are sewn using only whole cross stitch and back stitch is kept to a minimum. The patterns vary in sizes, from small designs in quick stitch for tags, pincushions, key fobs and cards, to larger, more involved designs for notebook covers, pictures, fire screens or table cloths. Many of the designs can easily be used in multiple ways. A single small design or band could be used to edge a place mat, table cloth, towel or curtain tie back, or you could combine several designs together to make a sampler. A stunning collection of patterns for both new and experienced stitchers alike.
