World of Cross Stitch - Jo Verso

Design your own sampler, to capture the joy of day-to-day life and to hand down to loved ones as heirlooms. Even those with no drawing skills can stitch something special with these 1,001 marvelous mix and match motifs, beautiful borders and patterns, imaginative images from around the globe, and attractive alphabets. Throughout, there are ideas aplenty for tracing and combining the different components that go into the cross-stitch: people (from a baby in a stroller to grandpa asleep); buildings; furniture; animals (pets and wild animals, too); edgings, lettering, and bands, plus small spot pieces that charmingly fill in empty spaces. Find inspiration in sample birth announcements, christening records, schoolday and religious life embroideries; and more.
