Designing x-stitch made easy

Shirley Watts always delivers what she promises, in this book she simplifies designing cross-stitch and makes it look very easy and possible even to the novice.She explains the whole process right from the beginning:from choosing your design ,to drawing it,developing it (she even explains lighting and shading),implementing it and even the finishing techniques that apply to almost all projects. She also has valuable tips on choosing the right materials and colors to enhance your project even further

Unique projects

Create Your Own Cross Stitch is for people who want to start their own project and create something unique, but do not know where to begin. From the book I found out that one does not need many tools to get a project done. Everything is kept very simple. The book offers some simple, but very effective things that one came make. Finishing touches for most projects do not require much effort. Size and complexity of a project are left to the individual to decide, so everything depends on dedication. I would especially recommend this book to people who have been cross-stitching already.
