  Sue Cook has produced seven wonderful chapters brimming with delightful images to suit all modds and occasions. Home Thoughts has a cosy Aga and a steaming bubble bath; while miniature cribs, rattles and nursery toys fill the pages of Childhood Days. Birdhouses and topiaries provide Gardening Pleasures, and funfairs and seaside chalets evoke Holiday Memories. Fairytale characters and friendly dragons abound in Land of Dreams; teddy bears and kittens are everyone's Favourite Things; and Special Days has celebratory wishes for Christmas, Easter, Weddings and Birthdays to name just a few. Ideas are included on how to make up the finished embroidery into beautiful profjects, from commercially available products to making simple-to-stitch projects of your own. There's also a whole chapter on how to combine the motifs to create popular sampler-style pictures to commemorate life's special moments. Eye-catching colour charts and an abundance of individual motifs combine to make this the perfect inspirational book to generate stitching ideas.
