This is such a pretty book, filled with cute designs for each month of the year.

From a snowman in January, a fall mouse house pillow in September to a candy cane hoop in December, each celebration of the year is perfectly sewn up.

There are hand drawn templates for each design, which give a beautiful handcrafted look. Simple instructions are given for each project, so even a beginner embroiderer can achieve something stunning.

I love this book. It's more than just a stitch book. It enables you to add to your home or give you ideas for the perfect gift.

Included in the back are projects for birthdays and the gallery section has small embroidery label ideas to embellish your design. Add beads, ribbons and binding to your project to give it a unique and personal touch and you will have something to be proud of.
