Roses And Flowering Shrubs In Cross Stitch

Presents twenty-seven patterns for wreaths, flowers, and branches, and demonstrates basic stitches.

Two of Thea's best titles in one volume: Flower Portraits in Cross Stitch and The Secret Garden in Cross Stitch. Includes 71 cross stitch designs, with clear colour chart and thread list for each design.

Imagine the scent of a beautiful rose garden, then capture the flowers themselves in cross stitch. Elegant Mackintosh roses curve gracefully next to bright pink wild roses. Softer pinks and yellows are the shades of pretty summer rose borders and motifs, and Berlin woolwork-inspired roses are in bud and full bloom. Finally the palest pink, almost white, petals of the Christmas rose nestle amongst festive red berries and deep green ivy. This series of cross-stitch chart books brings together the work of your favourite cross stitch designers. Each title in the series contains 10 pages of charted cross stitch designs on one popular subject. Every chart includes an easy-to-use key, and an inspirational colour photograph of each finished piece shows the fantastic results to be achieved. Each chart book also provides handy stitching tips and advice, stitch diagrams, guidance on techniques and materials, and a thread conversion chart to ensure you have all the information required to complete every design featured.
