Synopsis

Each of these twenty beautiful needlepoint designs from Jayne Schofield is accompanied by a full-colour chart, key and general instructions. These fun, quirky designs in bright, contemporary colours are all small, measuring on average approximately 10 x 12.5cm (4 x 5in), though the designs come in a variety of formats and include tall, narrow designs as well as squares.

All the designs are worked on 10-hole canvas and there is a broad range of subjects to choose from, including a country cottage, flowers, hearts, a festive reindeer, a hen, owl and some sheep, to name a few. So, whatever the occasion, there is bound to be a design that suits it perfectly. There are general instructions and a simple stitch diagram at the beginning of the book, so even those new to needlepoint will be able to accomplish all of the projects. At the start of the book there is a double-page spread of basic techniques. Jayne uses Anchor threads and provides the code numbers for the colours used; however, any suitable thread such as DMC or Madeira could be used.

À propos de l'auteur

Jayne Schofield's mother was a seamstress and her grandmother owned a wool shop, so she grew up surrounded by needlecraft projects. She learned to knit at the age of three and took up cross stitching as a teenager. With a degree in illustration, she now divides her time between designing cross stitch and illustrating  children’s books and textiles. Jayne lives in Lancashire. Her studio overlooks the garden, which is a constant source of inspiration.
