Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
With a few exceptions, stitchery designers toil away anonymously. Showcased here is the work of four cross-stitch professionals, all 37 of their projects executed in blue and white. In spite of the enforced two-color scheme, individual idiosyncrasies are apparent in choice of subject matter, use of style and mannerisms, and finishing touches. Biographies of the four artists reveal personal details and inspirations. Instructions are inclusive; the actual charts and graphs, however, require either strong magnifying glasses or 20-20 vision.

This is not the best example of crosstitch books available.,
This review is from: Cross-Stitch in Blue & White (Hardcover)
slsdaniel1@aol.com from Dallas, Texas, 07/12/98 This is not the best example of crosstitch books available. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book as it pales alongside most others currently available. The execution of the charts is not particularly expert and the subject matter is often trite. Even though blue and white is my favorite color scheme, I could find nothing in this book that merited hours of toil with the needle and thread. Perhaps you might disagree with me, but do not buy this book sight unseen.

This review is from: Cross-Stitch in Blue & White (Hardcover)
I have had this book for years. The designs are classic and could easily be adapted to other color schemes. LARGE EASY TO READ BLACK AND WHITE CHARTS.

some really cute designs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cross-Stitch in Blue & White (Hardcover)
This book has some really cute designs in it. The blue and white scheme may sound boring, but the authors have done a great job of using many hues of blues and other subtle colors to create some beautiful pieces.
