. .

Résumé :
Whatever time of the year, welcome to a collection of redwork stitchery that will keep you busy until Christmas Eve, and truly put you in the mood for mince pies, cosy fire sides, carol singing and Yuletide cheer. Christmas is Mandy's favourite time of the year when she allows her imagination to run free and unfettered filling her home with decorations designed to make it the most welcoming sanctuary for family returning from far and wide and lovely visiting friends. Redwork embroidery is perfect for Christmas stitchery, given that it is almost always worked in glorious red thread stitched on snow white linen. This collection features some of Mandy's best loved designs and includes seven projects, beautifully illustrated with photography taken in Mandy's own home. Plus, you can adapt and personalise them with over 20 full sized templates. Designs include a Hanging Heart, Christmas Decorations, placemats, two cushions, mini bunting and Mandy's extremely popular Mayhem Redwork Wreath....
