Stitch! By Cath
KidstonFollowing the
runaway success of Sew!,
Cath Kidston has turned
her unique designers eye
to Stitch! Reinventing
the arts of needlepoint
and cross stitch for
todays crafter, Cath has
injected her own
distinctive style of
cheery, heartwarming,
homemaking prints into
these traditional crafts.
Her blossom rose floral
design worked in
needlepoint creates the
most fabulous clutch bag
- not a million miles
away from those seen on
the Fendi catwalk this
season - whilst her
seventiesinspired pop
flowers print makes a
funky needlepoint cushion
that wouldnt look out of
place in any teenagers
bedroom. There are plenty
of quick, accessible and
highly achievable
projects throughout the
book - Caths popular
quartet of fruit motifs,
including the delectable
cherries and apples,
lend themselves
brilliantly to making
small cross stitched
patches or badges that
can adorn anything from a
satchel pocket to a parka
sleeve. In many projects
to complement the
stitched pieces, Cath
has injected one of her
trademark prints - for
example, her polka dot
and floral reworking of
the needlepoint Union
Jack is made up into a
cushion using her iconic
red dot cotton duck
fabric for a backing. The
beauty of both
needlepoint and cross
stitch is that they are
worked on a canvas made
up of a grid of squares,
so - just like
painting-by-numbers - it
is virtually foolproof
and a great result is
guaranteed. And, as with
Sew!, this book will
include a unique giveaway
kit: an exclusive
stitching project for a
zip-up purse. With over
20 charted designs to
make up in either
needlepoint or cross
stitch, and over 40
finished projects that
incorporate those designs
into a variety of stylish
items, Stitch! is
guaranteed to have Cath
fans and crafters
everywhere stocking up on
tapestry yarns and
embroidery silks ready to
get stitching.About the

leading and most loved
designers, Cath Kidston

Cross Stitch Antique
Style Samplers: Over 30
Cross Stitch Designs
Inspired by Traditional
Samplers In recent years,
embroidered samplers
have become highly
collectible. Jane
Greenoff uses her own
historical sampler
collection as the
inspiration for over 30
unique antique style
cross stitch designs so
that you can begin a
collection of your very
own. Each project chapter
is inspired by a popular
sampler style. Samplers
were traditionally used
to teach young girls a
variety of skills:
darning samplers improved
mending skills while
alphabet samplers helped
with literacy and
samplers with improving
mottoes instilled
morality. Band and spot
motif samplers were used
to record the stitches
they had learned. Many of
the superb designs are
complemented by
additional counted thread
stitches to encourage you
to extend your stitching
repertoire, including
drawn and pulled thread
techniques. About the
AuthorJane Greenoff,
managing director of the
Cross Stitch Guild, is
one of the most
successful and popular
cross stitch designers in
the world. She is the
author of 16 books. Jane
lives in a converted barn
in Fairford,
Gloucestershire.
