Book Description
The world is littered with floral designs for decorative stitchers. If this book first appears to be yet another collection to add to the heap, browse again. Greenoff and Hawkins, both savvy authors and business owners, have twisted the convention of pattern-after-pattern-type explanation by showing designs worked in three or sometimes four different techniques. So a brilliantly colored fuchsia becomes a cross-stitch greetings card, a canvaswork pincushion, or a crewelwork picture. Directions for each project include graphs, a finished color photograph, sometimes lengthy written instructions, and, when appropriate, partly worked examples. Also featured are explanations of and patterns for a newly coined technique, 'woolworks,' a combination of simple crewel embroidery and needlepoint. - Barbara Jacobs--BL 04/01/1996.

Book Description
Embroiderers will welcome this delightful collection of charted designs by Gerda Bengtsson, considered one of the greatest living designers of counted cross-stitch designs.

All of the designs are color keyed to both D.M.C. and Danish Flower Thread embroidery floss, and because the chart makes it easy to vary the size of the design they can be used to decorate anything from small pillows to bedspreads.
