Popular artist Michael presents twenty contemporary designs on a Christmas or winter theme. The delightful images are suitable for cards and decorations or other small items such as book marks and scissor-keepers, which would make lovely gifts. The designs, worked from easy-to-follow full-colour charts, are ideal for beginners, but also include suggestions for those with some sewing experience to expand the techniques. Good value for money.

Author Bio

Michael Powells work is normally originated in pen and ink and watercolour: his unique style translates brilliantly into needlework, whether it is cross stitch or needlepoint/tapestry, where he replaces his watercolour palette with the vast range of cotton or wool. The resulting designs take on a new, fantastic vibrancy of their own.

Michael has won The British Craft Awards Designer of the Year numerous times, and is continually working hard to create wonderful new designs for your stitching pleasure.
