It takes only two short hours to grow a cross-stitch garden! These 300 easy, quick, vintage-and-retro inspired designs all feature lovely and richly colorful flower-based motifs. Some are singular blossoms, while others are gathered in wreaths or placed in pretty flowerpots. Plus, there are other charming images to help fill out a sampler, including windmills, children on garden swings or bestowing a bouquet, and even flower-bearing teddy bears. Every stitcher will cherish this charming collection.
Trice Boerens of Ogden, Utah, is an established crafting author and designer who has written books for Sterling, American School of Needlework, Quarry, and Watson-Guptill. Her areas of expertise include needlework, quilting, and paper crafts. She is the author of Lark's new 45 Quilt Blocks series, and authored the original Sterling/Chappelle Two-Hour Cross-Stitch, which sold over 100,000 copies.
“Boerens's (Two-Hour Cross-Stitch) second collection of small cross-stitch motifs focuses on flowers, with designs organized by type (traditional, deco, formal, and fantasy, along with a section of monograms and messages). As expected, the motifs are colorful and cheery, and the variety of styles means that there's a floral pattern for every need. Knowledge of cross-stitch is assumed--this is predominantly a pattern book--but there is a two-page introduction to the basics. VERDICT: The variety of floral motifs makes this book an excellent value for cross-stitch collections.” --Library Journal
