Cross Stitch Safari is filled with wonderful pictures and cross stitch of Africa. If you have ever been or wish to go to Africa, you will be filled with memories unrivaled. I have most cross stitch books on wild life, and have never seen more realistic and picturesque offerings. Included are 25 different pictures both large and small of lions, elephants -- all the big beasts, but also meerkats, egrets, wildebeest, and on and on. As you can probably guess I think this is the best wild animal book available. You won't be disappointed.

This review is from: Jayne Netley Mayhew's Cross Stitch Safari (Paperback)

Jayne Netley Mayhew's works have to be in the top ten most beautiful cross stitch books available. There are anecdotes about her trips to Africa in addition to color charts and wonderful photos. The finished work will truly be thread art. Also, there are some smaller graphs for those of us that have shorter attention spans like me. I'm going to stitch the lounging leopard queen and the baby crocodile sunning himself on mama's head. (Only mama's eyes are visible above the water as she keeps a sharp eye out for danger to her babies.) Some unusual subjects for cross stitch are wildebeest, rhino, water buffalo and meerkats.
In sum, if you like to cross stitch African animals, this will be your favorite book.
