Cross Stitch Mini Motifs: Nature: Many New Cross Stitch Motifs Inspired by Nature

by Susan Bates

From flowers to animals, the wealth of cross stitch designs in this book are inspired by nature. The floral patterns include both individual flowers and larger floral scenes, such as a charming country cottage in a garden setting, a summer house by the sea, a garden scene which incorporates a pretty garden shed, and a decorative floral garland. Choose from small designs to make into greetings cards, coasters, purses, and embellishing clothes, along with larger designs which could be used to make framed pictures, cushions, tea towels, and notebook covers. Included are easy-to-follow color and symbol charts.

I love Susan Bates's colorful, engaging style. Nature patterns--particularly birds and gardens--are some of my favorites to stitch, and there are a lot of patterns I like in here.

These patterns are a great balance of sufficiently complex to be visually interesting but simple enough for beginners or a quick project. I enjoy using nature images and I’m planning on including several of these in upcoming projects.
