'What better way to record and personalise events than with cross stitch remembrances?  Worked in colourful floss on even-weave fabric, the patterns here are both original and truly artistic.  A wall hanging or banner, a framed picture, or a table runner or place mat, these can preserve a memorable time and enhance the festivity of a special day.  Cross stitch is an easy way to bring the charm of hand crafting into your own home; on gift-giving occasions, there is no better present than one you've made yourself.'

'Organised to provide a full year of events, and many years of family and life-festivities, Celebrations in Cross Stitch includes more than 40 projects for every type of occasion. '

'Beginners can find almost instant success and satisfaction with cross stitch, experienced needleworkers will find many projects that are challenging and of keepsake quality.  The introductory section provides all the information you need to select cloth and thread and get started.  Instruction and stitch charts are given with each project so you can work with ease, and finish or frame the completed project quickly and completely.  All are shown in a full-colour photograph so you'll know just how the completed piece will look, and how if can be used.'
