Synopsis

Learn to stitch a stretching cat, a band of woodland friends, or a fun silhouette of Noah's Arc. Let a tiger leap through the forest while an elephant trumpets nearby, and, of course, the dogs will want to go for a run. By the end of this book, you'll have your own counted cross stitch menagerie. Sample designs were stitched on a variety of 32, 35, 36 and 40 count fabrics before being custom framed. Stitch counts measure between approximately 99w x 99h and 123w x 102h.

About the Author

In each of her La-D-Da cross stitch pieces, Lori Markovic combines the homey appeal of primitive samplers with a touch of modern flair. She began cross stitching when her children were little and became inspired by vintage samplers. "I wanted to try designing a sampler, because I was thinking a lot about the girls who stitched those Early American pieces. Their lives were all about family, home, and faith--ideals that run through all generations. And that's how I started La-D-Da Designs." Lori and husband Bob live in Wisconsin, where they are happily surrounded by family. Lori likes to garden and bird watch, which no doubt inspires many of the natural elements in her designs. Another inspiration is the strong sense of community she enjoys with fellow cross-stitchers.
