About the book

Imagine a beautiful country house with animals, plants, and flowers intertwined with nature. A house where delicious cookies are baked in the kitchen, beautiful flowers bloom in the garden, where you can practice your favorite hobbies and stitch your cross-stitch project on the terrace. This is the world Tania Santarelli presents to you in her second book. She designed cross-stitch patterns that will brighten up your life: country life, garden, flowers, people, cooking, animals, crafts, sewing, embroidery, patchwork, hobbies... The cross-stitch projects in this book are designed to decorate your home once stitched or to celebrate those special moments in life.

The essence of this book is to be simple, fun, and easy to embroider. Therefore, most designs are stitched using only full cross stitch, minimizing backstitch. A stunning collection of patterns for both beginners and experienced embroiderers.
