A new treasury of Christmas designs that capture the good cheer and spirit of the holiday season are featured in this cross-stitch guide from internationally known designer Joan Elliott. Tradition and whimsy share the stage in this charming collection that includes Santa aloft on a magical reindeer, a snow princess and her enchanting woodland friends, a group of snowmen making the most of the holiday festivities, and a beautiful version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. A set of six very merry cards worked in bright Christmas colors as well as a set of Roly Poly ornaments for the tree are also included. DMC and Anchor embroidery floss specifications are given for each pattern, and Kreinik braid and Mill Hill beads bring a touch of elegance to some of the designs. Each project is presented with basic cross-stitch instructions and clear black-and-white charts, which include color backstitching, French knots, and beads.
