Gifts of Love (An American Sampler)

Gifts of Love (An American Sampler) Review


See more picture


Gifts of Love is Donna Kooler's second book for Meredith Press. A well known designer of crosstitch kits and leaflets, she now combines her talents with the unmistakeable style of The Vanessa-Ann Collection. This volume contains the varied and interesting project ideas and techniques that cross-stitchers demand. Choose from large framed samplers, or small derivative pieces, soft or intense colors, vintage or contemporary designs. As in all Meredith Press books, each project is paired with concise directions and an illustrative color photo. We've tried to ensure that design charts are clearly rendered with shading and symbols. A glossary and full chapter of general information keep you covered from stitch to stitch. You'll also find a helpful supplier page listing sources for canvases and floss. We present Gifts of Love with the simple intent - in Donna's words - to make your life more beautiful.
