Donna Kooler's 555 Cross-Stitch Sampler Motifs by Donna Kooler

From the Publisher

Donna Kooler, a renowned designer of gorgeous cross-stitch projects for more than 30 years, has now come up with nine colorful sampler patterns that celebrate home, nature, holidays, and more. Each one—from the charming and playful “Pet Friends” to the lush flower-filled “Beautiful Blooms”—is showcased in a breathtaking two-page spread with a themed beauty shot of the framed piece. Several pages of patterns follow, along with suggested alternative motifs to help stitchers unleash their creativity and make the samplers their very own. A brief introductory section teaches some basic stitches, as well as how to prepare the fabric and center the design.
