One of a collection of four cross-stitch books published simultaneously, this volume contains instructions for nearly 20 projects suitable as gifts or for fund-raising activities, and is aimed at both the beginner and the more experienced needleworker. The projects include items such as bookmarks, pincushions, guest towels and greeting cards, and the instructions are accompanied by thread charts, diagrams which illustrate basic skills and stitches, and colour photographs of the finished pieces.
