Patrick Lose's Whimsical Cross-Stitch

by Patrick Lose

The hallmarks of Patrick Lose's designs are bright colours, simple shapes and a touch of silliness. This book presents instructions for over two dozen of his cross-stitch projects, including a Jack-o-lantern wall-hanging, a snowman doll, Christmas tree decorations and hand towels.

I always like Lose's designs, but I honestly don't think they translate well to cross-stitch. Many of the projects here require filling in large areas with the same color of floss - the MOST BORING part of cross-stitching, and one that always makes me wonder, "Why am I stitching this instead of painting it?" On the plus side, there are a few smaller, quickie projects like pins and magnets that would make nice gifts for coworkers or relatives.

If you like Patrick Lose's off beat whimsical art, you will probably enjoy these projects.

Meh...not my cup of tea. Includes mostly holiday (Christmas, halloween, valentines, etc.) designs.
