All the projects featured will make terrific gifts to stitch for family and friends. They may look like you spent hours and hours stitching them, but in reality, they are quick and easy to complete. The variety of projects includes table runners, place mats, napkin rings, pot holders, coasters, basket cover and skirt, pin cushion, scissors case and pillows.
An easy-to-read full-color chart and a full-color photograph are given for each of the 17 projects in the book. Materials needed include Monk's cloth, medium worsted weight yarn and a tapestry needle.
