Decorative Cross-Stitch Borders

By: Cristina Sperandeo

Borders are the focal point for so many cross-stitch projects; wouldn't it be great to have one book bursting with a variety of exceptional patterns to choose from? "These collections of contemporary cross-stitch designs from Italy...can be applied to any fabric by using waste canvas, which is pulled out after working...borders are mainly flowers or animals...easily worked designs are good additions to public library needlework collections."- Library Journal.

It makes me want to stitch

Decorative Borders goes beyond the average, plain, frames for finished needlework. Many of these borders are works of art that can stand on their own. I am especially fond of the floral borders, but there are also instructions for borders appropriate for children, kitchen, beach settings, etc. This is a wonderful book for someone who is looking for a small project.
