Some really neat designs, that seem very adaptable.

A delightful book that not only give instructions for 40 small cross-stitch projects, ranging from bookmarks to place mats to pillows, but also provides interesting background into the Celtic arts, as well.

Good basic info on cross stitch, some good patterns, tips for customizing a design. I feel that most of the patterns are very simple and good for beginners. Personally I am only interested in the rainbow fish pattern.
Diagrams are in black and white.

Going through a few cross stitch books looking for a new pattern to work on.

Ok. I thought I would take a look at these designs. Not for me really but, interesting to look at.

An interesting overview of Celtic designs interpreted in cross stitch. Lots of little projects to make use of the designs and other colour ways and projects are suggested.

nice designs, but they don't work for my purpose, I was looking for designs to use in beading a bracelet.

[Maryetta]

A great idea-book. I have used some of the designs in my beading.
