Cross-Stitch Patterns in Color presents some of the finest designs created in recent years by the internationally known textile designer Gerda Bengtsson of the Danish Handcraft Guild. The book includes three groups of the kind of cross-stitch designs for which Miss Bengtsson is renowned: a magnificent collection of wildrose patterns; patterns from countryside and town based on the changing seasons; and a series of charming motifs of flowers and plants in pots arranged in windows.
