All cross stitchers love to stitch for others and create designs that commemorate and affirm life's special moments - a birth, a wedding, a new home, an anniversary or other special day. This collection of bright, decorative samplers and cards contains something for everyone, from the bright new home sampler with flowers and nesting birds, or an Advent calendar filled with the promise of Christmas, to the colourful samplers that simply celebrate a friendship. Additional alphabets are provided to personalise any of the designs. Each project is accompanied by a detailed full colour chart and step-by-step making up instructions for mounting or framing.
