Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
There seems to be no end to the projects possible with embroidered borders and motifs. In the introductory chapter to her fifth book, Danish needleworker Lindberg lists at least two dozen items that use repetitive design, from an old-fashioned sampler to egg cozies and curtain tiebacks. And if that were not enough to whet a stitcher's appetite, she provides complete details for more than 50 cross-stitch patterns, including color photographs as well as charted graphs. Inserted in every section--borders, motifs, alphabets, the zodiac--is at least one full-fledged project combining patterns, along with two chapters devoted to holiday and "married" patterns of two-plus borders and motifs. No level of difficulty is indicated, but beginners will have little trouble following her simple, classic designs. Barbara Jacobs

Classic Style and Elegance,
By Port Wynn "Yankee" (PNW, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cross Stitch Borders and Motifs: Endless Ways to Mix and Match Designs Creating Unique Cross Stitch Patterns (Hardcover)
Jana Hauschild Lindberg gives us pieces with great taste and style but with a sophisticated simplicity. She has chosen motifs that vary from Scandinavian Traditonal Design to Alphabets, Florals, Holiday Designs and a beautiful sophisticated Zodiac. All graceful, elegant, and beautiful. Her style is as approachable for and as attainable by the new student of Cross-Stitch as for the experienced. I really enjoy her work. I'm also pleased that she anticipates that a new student will see her book as a window to the art and provides primary instruction to cross stitch. Her pattern charts are in black and white but they can be enlarged on any copier and colored if so desired.
