Synopsis

Country Mosaics for Scrollers and Crafters Bless your friends, neighbors and even your own home with these wooden plaques symbolizing faith, love, and prosperity! The country-themed patterns in this book were inspired by the Pennsylvania German traditions that are so prominent in the country-side around the author's home. Their symbols of peace, long life and prosperity can be seen on the hex signs that hang on their barns, on the house blessings that grace their homes, and on the quilts and furniture that they use and sell. Noting the clean lines and bright colors of these designs, the author has translated these symbols into attractive patterns for a variety of crafts. Many of the symbols have unique meanings, which, when combined, create a special message for the owner. Use these patterns for many crafts including scroll sawing, needlepoint, stained glass, quilting, rug hooking and more. Once finished, the resulting pieces become excellent gifts and beautiful keepsakes. 33 Patterns Great gift or craft show items!
