Joan Elliott's unique style and charm are given full rein in this wonderful collection of well-known sayings and warm-hearted sentiments to stitch. Gifts for friends and family abound in this new collection of cross stitch designs that combines the full range of Joan Elliott's creative talents with her love of language. All the styles for which she is well known are there - Celtic, Native American, Oriental as well as some of her whimsical teddy bears. The humorous 'You may look at the dust, but please don't touch' will bring a wry smile to the face of any hard-pressed housewife, while the gentle 'With every little baby's birth, a bit of heaven drifts to Earth' will meet a response from every parent - and grandparent. Reflections on the serenity of the garden and the peace and wisdom of Asian, Celtic, and Native American cultures are beautifully presented as framed pictures and accompanied by ideas for smaller projects. Other projects include small framed pictures to 'stand alone' or form part of a set, easy-to-stitch cards, small hangings - even fridge magnets. Full instructions are included for making up the projects, and charted alphabets will help the stitcher personalize their gift.
