Celebrating the beauty of our world and beyond

This book has some wonderful celestial themes, some beautiful samplers and some lovely designs inspired by the natural world. The presentation is great: tips and techniques for those new to cross-stitch are included as well. There is something here for the accomplished stitcher as well as for someone who is just starting with this craft. Highly recommended. Jennifer Cameron-Smith

Unique and beautiful designs!

This book is a collection of cross-stitch samplers in unique and beautiful designs. Since I love anything with a celeistial theme, I was attracted to the full chapter devoted to several attractive and varied designs incoporating sun, moon, stars, and planets. More common categories such as garden and nature include more original work than you will find anywhere else. Many of the samplers have a wonderfully old-fashioned look to them, and the completed projects are finished and photographed beautifully. The book also contains a wide variety of cross-stitch alphabets to assist you with customizing your projects. A wonderful book for serious cross-stitchers who are addicted to samplers!
