This is a hardback book with beautiful pictures of the finished project BUT the instructions are in B&W. Good for all x-stitch levels

Tons of great cross stitch designs for the home, gifts, etc. Florals, samplers, cards, pillows and much more. A good all around resource for finding a nice design for a wedding gift or to decorate your home.

This beautiful craft book features timeless projects with step-by-step instructions, including photographs of the final result.

"Here are wonderful designs for you to enjoy cross-stitching--home accessories and fashion accents, gifts for special occasions, and suggestions for bazaar best sellers. The first chapter is devoted to boarder patterns to use for a host of delightful designs." (from inside book)

This 79-page book, size 8"x11," contains projects such as The Alphabet Throw, a Christmas Runner, Placemats and Napkins, Creative Keepsakes, Stationary and Cards, Gifts for Baby, Samples and Sayings, and much more. In addition, there are tips for How to Work With Waste Canvas, Creative Embroidery, Hoops, Needles, Thread, Various Supplies, and more. This is a beautiful book, even if all you do is look through it.

The book being posted by Marilyn Z. is a hardback, not paperback.

This is just loaded with all types of cross stitch projects. I made a couple when I was doing a lot of cross stitch.
