Rustic and Refreshing Motifs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
For those who love both cross stitch and gardening this is the book. As I looked through it I felt like I was really in some country garden. It includes 7 chapters: the cottage garden,kitchen garden,herbal garden, formal garden,birds and bees, fruit orchard and a garden alphabet. There are lots of garden samplers,some which include recipes,an apple orchard a potting shed and many others ; all are quite charming and rustic.The hundreds of small beautiful motifs include: vegetables,seed packets, bird houses,herbs, flowers and flowerpots. The designs and projects are small , quite simple and not time consuming :pincushions,bookmarks,cards,etc... but the motifs can be used collectively to create a bigger project because they all work so well together.It also shows how the creative use of buttons,charms and beads can really liven up one's piece of art.The book has a very good layout, the little watercolor drawings on every page enhance the beauty of this book.
