This compilation is notable for its wealth of small, colorful projects inspired by elements of Celtic design such as knotwork, spirals, fanciful animals, and religious motifs. Many projects are appropriate for the beginning cross-stitcher, and all are graded for difficulty. Designs include bookmarks, purses, pillows, greeting cards, and even a chessboard and cross-stitched bag for chess pieces. Each project includes full-color illustrations, both color and black-and-white charts, and finishing instructions. There are conversion charts for DMC and Anchor threads. Recommended for public libraries where demand warrants.

Graduating from the design and manufacture of stitchery kits, Orr and Clarke now have collaborated on a pattern book concentrating on Celtic symbols and images. Little time or pages are devoted to the how-tos of cross-stitch, though, of course, the basics, from fabrics to masking tape, are adequately covered. So, without much fanfare, the four different design concepts--fire, earth, air, and water--are introduced and incorporated into more than 40 practical items, such as pillows, sachets, bookmarks, even a chessboard and chessman bag. On the whole, motifs are decidedly geometric, based on knots and spirals and occasional iconographic images like salmon, saints, and angels. Each project features directions, graphs, and color photographs, as well as level of difficulty and ideas for variations. Elegant classic designs that can be used to embellish almost any object.
