Cross-Stitch in the Forest: 25 Projects to Capture the Beauty of Nature Paperback – July 30, 2024

The designs are beautiful as I expected! The charts are very clear and big enough to read comfortably, which is a nice surprise. A great addition to my pattern collection, I look forward to getting started!

This cross-stitch book is an absolute treasure for nature lovers and crafters alike! "Forest Dreams: Capture the Beauty of Nature with Enchanting Cross-Stitch Patterns" is aptly named – the patterns truly capture the magic and serenity of the forest. I was immediately drawn to the intricate details and the way the designer uses color to evoke the feeling of dappled sunlight filtering through leaves, or the quiet mystery of a moonlit woodland.The book itself is beautifully presented, with clear, easy-to-follow charts and vibrant photos of the finished projects. Even a beginner cross-stitcher like myself felt confident tackling these patterns. The variety of designs is excellent, ranging from delicate wildflowers and adorable woodland creatures to breathtaking landscapes. I especially appreciate the inclusion of both smaller, quicker projects and larger, more challenging ones, offering something for every skill level and time commitment.What sets this book apart is the artistry of the patterns. They're not just your typical cross-stitch designs; they're miniature works of art. Stitching these forest scenes has been incredibly relaxing and rewarding. I've already completed one project, the sunset over the lake and trees, and I'm eager to start on the next. If you're looking for a cross-stitch book that inspires creativity and brings the beauty of nature into your home, "Forest Dreams" is an absolute must-have. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful pattern book. Excellent value for all the patterns you get. Would highly recommend.

Really beautiful patterns.

Beautiful book. So glad I ordered it. This book and the great patterns will keep me busy for awhile.

Patterns are perfect!

I have never written a review but, this is the greatest little book. Lots of easy outdoor scenes. I love the way he does the cut outs on different colored cloth. Seems like all levels of stitchers will enjoy this book.

I love, love these patterns. They are gorgeous. I love that they are REAL trees, real birds, real scenes. I get tired of nature patterns that are European birds, ficticious trees, etc. Those things get sold because people don't know the native flora and fauna around them! I also really appreciate that these patterns seem very manageable. I don't like crossstitch projects that I'm stuck doing for months at a time. I'd rather do something satisfying that doesn't take forever. Highly recommend this book!
