Dust jacket notes: "Here is a delightful collection of more than thirty original patterns for cross-stitch and other needlepoints inspired by the classic story Alice in Wonderland and its traditional Tenniel illustrations. You'll be charmed and amused by all your favorite characters from the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter to the March Hare, the Dormouse, and the Queen of Hearts. Using the same format as in her previous book, Mother Goose in Stitches, Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen offers easy-to-follow stitch instructions, basic projects, and her own original pattern designs. She thoroughly covers the basics of both cross-stitching on cloth and needlepointing on canvas and offers two basic projects that graphically show how to use these two elementary techniques. Both novice and experienced stitchers will delight in learning how to make the colorful and charming array of projects including a stuffed Dormouse toy, an Alice dress for a little girl, a Mad Hatter's tea cloth and napkin set, and a small embroidered quilt. Alice in Stitches contains illustrated instructions for all the stitches used; information on yarns, threads, fabrics, needles, and accessories; lists of materials needed for each project; and a Directory of Suppliers that covers both the United States and Canada. Beautiful color photographs of the finished projects complete this imaginative book."
