Product Description
Add a touch of simple Scandinavian charm to your home with these dozens of elegant cross-stitch patterns. Ranging from fifth-century woven textiles, through traditional folk art patterns and eighteenth-century porcelain designs, to original paper cuts made by the famous Danish fairy-story teller, Hans Christian Andersen, you'll find all the inspiration needed throughout these pages. Projects draw upon traditional Scandinavian symbols and motifs that have been handed down from generation to generation and upon the beautiful natural environment and wildlife of the region. Celebrate the Viking legacy with a wallhanging of a ship based on a carving from fifth-century Sweden. A curtain with reindeer and fir trees would make fabulous Christmas decor. Set your table with a cloth edged with traditional Norwegian borders or stitch a hanging with a Danish folk costume Follow the detailed Acharts and accompanying project ideas and you'll be on your way to re-creating some of the most beautiful designs from Scandinavia.
