Yesteryear in Cross Stitch

by Debbie Minton

Go back in time to when grace and style reigned and cross-stitch patterns featured charming images in warm colors. This collection, by a leading designer, includes exquisite pictures of Victorian children, old-fashioned costumes, and the nostalgic pastimes of yesteryear. A delightful scene of a boy with a hoop and a puppy captures the playfulness and fun of a carefree childhood, while an enchanting view of two skaters is wonderfully evocative. 25...

Nostalgic Designs

I couldn't wait to get this book after I'd seen in reviewed in a magazine. There are lots of designs suitable for beginners, and a few challenges for more experienced stitchers. The designs are very pretty and would look lovely in a child's bedroom. The charts are all in colour, but some are very small. The faces are very stylised, with very simple features which are a little disappointing. However, the finished pictures look so sweet, I don't think the charts will put you off. There are a range of designs from children to hats and shoes. If you like designs from the days gone by, you'll enjoy this book!
