Michael Powell provides twenty mini cross stitch designs, each
accompanied by a full-colour chart, key and general instructions. Each
of Michael's unique, quirky contemporary designs measures approximately
31/2 x 31/2in (9 x 9cm), though the designs come in a variety of formats
and include tall, narrow designs as well as borders. All the designs can
be worked on 14-count Aida or evenweave fabric. There's a broad range of
subjects to choose from, including country cottages, flowers, hearts,
and festive Christmas trees, so whatever the occasion, there is bound to
be a design that suits it perfectly. There are general instructions and
simple stitch diagrams at the beginning of the book, so even those new
to cross stitch will be able to accomplish all of the projects, as well
as notes on fabric preparation and washing instructions.
