Ever hear of National Picnic Day? How about National Ice Cream Day! Every day is a holiday with this book of cross-stitched gifts and keepsakes - all designed by the experts at The Vanessa-Ann Collection. Holidays In Cross-Stitch 1987 is full of treasures to stitch for every month of the year. There are one-of-a-kind designs for favorite holidays like Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas, as well as for surprise celebrations like Grandparents' Day and Be Kind to Animals Week. There are even "just-for-1987" holidays you'll love adding to your calender of creativity.

Besides the colorful cross-stitched pieces made for framing, there are charming three dimensional gems designed as only The Vanessa-Ann Collection can. Cross-stitch a lacy heart shaped pillow for Valentine's Day, adorable Easter eggs, a puffy heart card for Mother's Day, neckties for Dad, a beaded music box for Grandmother, a spooky trick-or-treat bag for Halloween, and spectacular heirloom Christmas stockings. You can even make a tiny doll with a different cross-stitched pinafore for each holiday!

Every one of the more than 64 festive projects features a vibrant color photograph of the finished piece, an easy-to-read charted design, and full-size patterns, step-by-step instructions, and diagrams where needed. General instructions are included, too - for all accent stitches, ribbon flowers, and basic cross-stitching techniques.

Holidays In Cross-Stitch 1987 is a cross-stitcher's dream. It's a sourcebook of delightful ideas to keep you in stitches from January through December - this year and every year!
