A Selection of Designs Inspired by Iznik and Delft Pottery in Cross Stitch

Inspired by the great diversity of Iznik and Delft pottery, this book brings to you a selection of bright, modern designs. The patterns in this book are varied in both their size and complexity, from small designs for tags, pincushions, and cards to more involved designs for pictures and other display items. Many are simple, quick to stitch, and usable in multiple ways. An individual small design could be repeated to form a band for a table cloth, curtain, or towel edge—or tiled to produce a larger pattern for a cushion or sampler style design—making it a suitable book for both new and experienced stitchers to enjoy.

Durene Jones is a cross stitch designer whose designs have been published in many popular cross stitch magazines. She is the author of Cross Stitch: Floral Summer Days. She lives in Durham, England.
