Four Seasons in Cross Stitch

Fülszöveg

Jayne Netley Mayhew and Nicki Wheeler
bring cross stitch to life in this stunning
collection of over 50 delightfully realistic
wildlife scenes. Inspired by the changing of
the seasons, each design captures a moment
of magic in the natural world: March hares
perform their wild antics in the spring
sunshine; fragrant, colourful summer flowers
cascade from hanging baskets; tiny mice
scurry through the hedgerows in search of
autumn berries; and acrobatic blue-tits provide
a flash of colour in the winter landscape.
There is a project here to suit stitchers of
every ability, from simple sunflower motifs
used to decorate kitchen accessories, to the
magnificent barn owl picture. Though many
of the designs are worked completely in cross
stitch, several include silk ribbon embroidery
and beadwork to add extra texture and interest.
And for those who like to combine cross
stitch with sewing, there is a delightful wild-
flower quilt to make.
