My mom started me at a young age with making crafts. Together, her and I often would make gifts to give away during the holidays. I was close to ten when I completed my first cross stitch pattern. It was simple, but I was so proud of it. Twenty plus years later and I am still cross stitching. The designs are a lot more complicated, but I love the craft still.
Usually, I go and simply buy the pattern. Then, I came across this book, Magical Cross Stitch. It has patterns within its pages that beckoned to me. From the Phoenix, to a pegasus, to the Goddesses, to fairies, mermaids and more. The designers of this book show how you can take certain elements from the pattern and use them for other purposes (bookmarks, coasters, journal covers, etc.) There are over 25 different designs in this book.
The patterns are more complex so this book is not one for beginners.
