An evocative collection of Native American-inspired cross stitch designs by leading designer and best-selling author, Joan Elliott. The distinctive imagery of America's indigenous culture is a powerful reminder of the values that the native people lived by. Now you can bring these sentiments to your stitching with this beautiful collection of designs, that will delight cross stitchers everywhere. Stunning dream catcher designs, striking decorative borders, uplifting celebration pieces for the birth of a child or a wedding, creative cards, pillows, jewellery and accessories all feature in this beautifully illustrated book, with full-colour charts throughout. Information on materials, stitching techniques and full making-up instructions are provided, making this book ideal for beginners and more experienced stitchers alike.
I thought there would be actual authentic patterns to cross stitch. Instead there are teddy bear designs with made up very corny verses.

This book is full of designs that cover a variety of the Indian tribes and contains key information as why particular colors were chosen or the significance of a motif. I have several designs in the book started and cannot wait to finish them. Easy to read charts with the colors to help guide along make many of the projects come alive off the page as you are working.

I own this book, and it is the best cross stitch medium for Native American designs that I've seen on the market. The charts are large and easy to read. The finishing instructions are clear and concise. This is a very good publication from start to finish and worthy of a "5-star" rating. Highly recommend!!! A ++++++
