This book contains lots of little cross stitch motifs which are quick and easy to stitch. The designs use only whole stitches, some backstitch and a few French knots, which mean they are ideal for the beginner, as they are easy to stitch - but they will also appeal to the more experienced stitcher who would like to make small items that are quick to stitch.
The book was inspired by the trend for making very small cross stitch items which can be used to adorn jewellery, such as pendants, bracelets and earrings. You could also make them into little pictures by mounting them into a small hoop or a tiny picture frame. You could even stitch a few motifs together to make a greetings card or a little sampler design to give to a loved one. Included in the book are some designs which can be used to decorate mobile phone cases too.
