Animals in Cross Stitch - Jayne Netley Mayhew - Hardcover

Tigers and kittens, mice and ducks, birds and bees -- there are enough animals here to fill Noah's Ark! Stitch them all and you'll have hangings and cushions and tea cosies to scatter all round the house This range of projects includes something for everyone beginners can start small and work their way up to something harder, like the spectacular, detailed, and colorful embroidery of a resting Cheetah with her cubs. Take the first steps by examining the charts, color keys, and graphs; move to the hints on preparation, mounting the fabric, and starting off your first length of thread; and finish off by taking the advice on washing and pressing and framing the completed work. The irresistible designs include a zebra; elephants; Siamese kittens toying with a ball of yam; pheasants; and peacocks. Brilliantly colored hummingbirds in bright foliage adorn a cushion and footstool and two scarlet macaws really stand out against a black background fabric 20 magnificent projects in all.Mayhew, Jayne Netley is the author of 'Animals in Cross Stitch - Jayne Netley Mayhew - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780715301999 and ISBN 0715301993.
