82 Colorful Cross-Stitch Patterns - Charming designs that are easy and quick to stitch. Multi-colored and single-colored cross-stitch. With an introduction to Hardanger edging. Even today, people still enjoy stitching, but many find they don't have as much time for it as they used to. The 82 cross-stitch templates in our book are specifically designed to address this issue: they can all be completed in just a few hours or in one evening. The fruit and vegetable motifs are mostly worked in two or three cheerful colors that bring a sparkle to any living space. The single-colored ornaments, on the other hand, are classic cross-stitch patterns suitable for a variety of different embroideries. The edges are stitched in Hardanger, a Scandinavian stitching technique, which is also briefly introduced in this book. With this embroidery, every cloth, runner, placemat, or tablecloth becomes special.
