Emma's iconic designs are universally loved by her fans who have bought over 50,000 of her patterns on Etsy, and who have set up a dedicated fan group on Facebook, where they share their work in progress and proud finishes.

This collection features 20 exclusive designs, each with an easy-to-read full colour and symbol chart. Sentiments include:

Life is the flower for which love is the honey
We rise by lifting others
Together is my favourite place to be
Your greatness is not what you have but what you give
Be the reason someone smiles today
Be brave my heart, have courage my soul
In a world where you can be anything, be kind

Alongside the designs, Emma shares her thoughts and inspirations for each one, with a detailed materials list and instructions for stitching. Beginners to cross stitch will find a helpful guide to the stitches and techniques used - and the beauty of cross stitch is that if you can sew one cross you can sew all these designs! The designs range in size from mini hoops to larger scale samplers, so there are options to suit everyone - and they all share Emma's skill with colour, typography and design which have made her one of the world's best-loved cross stitch designers.
