Description
A wealth of festive cross stitch designs to celebrate everyone's favourite time of year from popular designer Sue Cook. Six themed chapters rejoice in the season's most popular events; each opens with a magnificient picture design to capture the very essence of Christmas, from a beautifully dressed tree or a stocking bulging with toys, to the peace and joy of the nativity scene. Each chapter also includes six pages packed with smaller motif designs, ideal for cards and tags when stitching time is short, as well as project ideas for gifts for family and friends, tree ornaments and decorations for the Christmas table. Additional charted alphabets and greetings allow you to personalize the designs. Sue's stitching tips focus on using metallic threads, charms and beads to make your Christmas stitching all the more special.
