Title: Fables & Fairy Tales to Cross Stitch
Author: Véronique Enginger
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing
ISBN: 978-0-7643-5478-6
This is a hardcover book containing 144 pages and all of the patterns & motifs are easy to stitch and make. You’ll start off by reading the book’s introduction and then you can explore the 3 chapters: Fables, Fairy Tales and French Nursery Rhymes. Located at the back of the book you’ll find a Techniques & Tips section, Project Instructions and Patterns that you can use.
I think all of the patterns and motifs are just darling! I currently have 2 nieces and a cousin who are expecting babies, and I can use this book along with the patterns to make some really cool baby gifts and nursery decor. There are motifs like ballerinas, toy soldiers, wildlife animals, princess, floral designs and all kinds of things! You’ll find designs that are suitable for both little boys and little girls. If you’re looking to personalize…don’t worry, the author included a few alphabets too.

Now that I have a granddaughter I have to look for more books like this one. I am sure she would love to do this when she is older.
I love this. I need to check this book out because I love to cross stitch and I could get some ideas for our grandson’s nursery!
