Description
The charm and simplicity of old-English roses have been interpreted into designs for cushions, bed-linen, scented sachets, curtain tie-backs, and other decorative items for the home. The book includes something for stitchers of all abilities, from straightforward cross-stitch and needlepoint to the more complex projects using shadow-work, applique and mixed techniques. Charts, trace-off patterns, step-by-step instructions and tips are included.
