For every season and forever; these charming cross stitch patterns-from Donna Kooler's celebrated design studio-never go out of style. Make a complete sampler, or choose from hundreds of adorable elements to adorn pillows, ornaments, bags, and more. Stitch winter wonders like a bear on skis or an old-fashioned sleigh. Get spring fever by embroidering flowers, fruits, birds, and butterflies. Enjoy the warmth of a 'summer daze' as sunflowers and sunbeams blossom on cloth. And there's a real fall bounty of ideas, including a cat raking up leaves, nice big pumpkins, a back-to-school salute, and a harvest moon shining on.

For the perfect baby's gift, take plain store-bought bibs, booties, mittens, caps, and bath towels and adorn them with geese and teddy bears. Decorate pillows with fantastic sunflower or Victorian-style patterns--and you'll love the wonderful designs for lacy table linens, jar covers, mugs, bookmarks, Christmas gifts, and more--all 333 of them exquisitely interpreted for needlework.
