Nursery Needlepoint. 30 delightful needlework projects

Using both cross-stitch and needlepoint techniques, this book contains a range of gift ideas including cushions, samplers, cot covers and scented sachets, plus ideas for decorating children's clothes. The projects vary in difficulty, from a simple baby's cross-stitch bib decorated with a buttercup and daisy motif to a Humpty Dumpty footstool. Alphabets at the end of the book enable the reader to personalize the projects, and create their own designs. There are 30 original needlework projects for nursery and child, based on popular nursery rhymes. Each project is carefully charted and has complete making instructions, including yarn colours and quantities. For reference, the book explains the best materials and techniques to use, and includes step-by-step stitch diagrams.
