Guide Review - Review - Quick to Stitch Cross Stitch Cards - David & Charles
The charts in the book are divided into three sections Birthday wishes, Let's celebrate, and Days to remember. Each chart is designated as quick, quicker, or quickest. Quick designs are more detailed and you should be able to finish them in a weekend. Quicker designs are less detailed and should take a day to complete. The quickest designs are really simple and will take an evening to stitch.
