I love this book! From Kooler Design Studio, it has a design for every day of the year, including Feb. 29th!

The designs are divided by month, and there are 7 design "sets" mixed into the months: Flower-of-the-Month, Gem Fairy-of-the-Month, Mini Sampler-of-the-Month, Quilt Block-of-the-Month, Teapot-of-the-Month, Wreath-of-the-Month, and Zodiac Sign-of-the-Month.

Lots of babies, birds, bears, cats, and dogs, too!

This book, 365 Tiny Cross Stitch Designs, was by the Kooler Design Studio. Donna Kooler does some of the best designs for everyday cross-stitch patterns and applications and her books are beautiful and colorful. This one lives up to that standard. The designs are set out by month, so January has winter themes of ice skaters, snowmen, polar bears and winter colors of cool blues, lavenders, pinks and pale greens, February has reds and pinks, etc. The motifs for each month are also appropriate with ice skaters, cupids, hearts, gardeners, etc. Some motifs could be used for cross-stitch greeting cards as well. There are adorable tiny animal motifs such as bunnies, cats, dogs and bears. Plenty of vegetables, plants and flower motifs to adorn kitchen linens too! I love the Zodiac patterns especially! Big patterns make it easy to see to stitch and it is color coded, not symbol coded. Plenty of pictures of completed patterns too. No half-stitches are noted, the backstitches make the necessary curves, so a good beginner book too. I immediately started stitching the patterns from the book and the patterns take no longer than a day or two to complete. Perfect for someone like me with a short attention span and a desire to successfully finish a project!

This book is excellent to experiment with different designs or to stitch something little for that special someone. It also has a series of designs (tea kettles, fairies, wreaths) that can be stitched for every month of the year. I really recommend it!!!
