1000 GREAT CROSS STITCH DESIGNS - Softcover

A fabulous resource to satisfy the most enthusiastic cross stitcher. Beautifully presented and keenly priced, 1000 motifs organised into easy-to-access categories, so you can find a cross-stitch design for every occasion, whether it be a special personalised Christmas gift, a Valentine or birthday card, a sampler to celebrate a wedding anniversary or the birth of a baby. As any cross-stitcher knows, some designers get carried away when it comes to recommending threads, author Maria Kelly never falls into this trap - all her exquisite designs can be created using a palette of 30 colours or fewer. A resource section in the back of the book gives the DMC thread "recipe" for each of the 1000 designs used.

Maria Kelly runs a highly successful cross-stitch design business. She has contributed to Cross Stitch magazine, and also works as a photographic stylist. Her first book Cross Stitch for Special Occasions was published in 2001. Maria lives in South West London.
