Working folk designs in counted cross-stitch is a times-honored tradition with historical roots. In early European country. As an American tradition, counted cross-stitch designs teach back to the eighteenth century with continued popularity right up to the present day. The symmetrical composition of charted designs allows the needle worker to create - with very few stitches - pleasing eye-catching designs that are balanced, unified and absolutely timeless.
In this outstanding addition to the Dover needlecraft series, noted needlework authority Carter Houch offers over 100 authentic charted folk designs in a wide array of lovely representations, including flowers, fruit trees, animals, borders, mythical beasts, medallions, and geometrics. The author also suggest many effective and ingenious ways of using these designs in everyday projects such as linens, baby clothes, blouses, skirts, and much more.
The designs range in complexity from the simple pattern composed of a few lines to intricate symmetrical creations. Designs are charted so that they can be easily used for cross stitch, needlepoint, latch-hooking or any form of counted thread embroidery.
