  Art nouveau's spinning, whirling, coiling, winding, and twisting designs, as artist Gustav Klimt described them, make a perfect inspiration for cross-stitch. For the first time, a collection of projects explores the magnificent possibilities. Start with the mirror frame and bowl lids that draw on Klimt's spirals. Then try William de Morgan's peacocks applied to bolster cushions; a Tiffany landscape picture; a Voysey clock; a snowdrop bed linen set. All twelve designs come with full-size patterns.
