Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Retro Cross Stitch: 500 Patterns, French Charm for Your Stitchwork in Books

Jun 18, 2018

Retro Cross Stitch Véronique Enginger is a beautiful collection of 500 charts for motifs with a French retro flair to cross stitch. The designs are varied and include many smaller designs as well as some larger pieces. Scattered throughout are finished examples stitched onto various articles like linens, bags, framed pictures and labels/cards.
A Touch of Nostalgia, Chocolate, Tea, Coffee, Fabulous Journeys, and Fashion. Most of the designs are small, which are perfect for crafters to use in a myriad of ways. With color stitching charts and DMC floss numbers provided, the patterns are easy for even a beginner to be able to follow.

The book has page after page filled with individual patterns grouped together by common subject. The trend towards lazy days during the 1800, parasols and high button boots, tea service and time at the boardwalk or the beach are beautifully imagined. The sections are A Touch of Nostalgia, Chocolate, Tea, Coffee, Fabulous Journeys, and Fashion. Most of the designs are small, which are perfect for crafters to use in a myriad of ways. With color stitching charts and DMC floss numbers provided, the patterns are easy for even a beginner to be able to follow.

I received this ARC from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

They changed the algorithms so that posts don't appear in chronological order and I don't see posts from everyone I follow. The algorithms choose what they think I want to see. (0 more)

Could be better but I love it anyway

I love being able to interact with people and brands from all over. I follow and interact with knitwear and cross stitch designers, yarn and fabric dyers, various companies, kpop idols, and many people like me who enjoy a variety of things. It's a terrific place to discover new books, patterns, artists, music, movies, and so much more.
