Sam Does It Again

Sam Hawkins books are always a must have to me. I cross stitch a lot as I don't get out too much, and find his books composed with care. They inspire you to add and subtract bits so they ' live' for ever as I have not found one I could not return to and get another idea from. Well laid out in easy to read formatt. Clearly explained from cover to cover. Unusuall designs also included. An all round good buy.

Answers the question what to do with cross stitch projects.

This is a great book. There are over 150 designs for all sorts of occasions. The designs are charted in color and are simple to use. For the most part the designs are small enough to stitch out in an afternoon if you are quick. The designs are great but even greater is the variety of ways the author shows you to use the designs. Two of the unsual uses were on the heads of stick pins for bulletin boards and designs sewn on gloves. I really am impressed with this book.
