Drawing on source material from stone carving, Celtic jewellery, inscriptions and illuminated manuscripts, this collection contains more than 30 projects for cross stitch enthusiasts. Each is shown alongside the original Celtic design, and all are accompanied by full-colour charts and clear working instructions. Different types of sampler - for example, a Celtic motto and a band sampler - are featured in the designs, as well as a variety of smaller-scale, quickly-stitched pieces such as bookmarks and pincushions. Angela Wainwright has also written "Counted Cross Stitch", (1991).
