Designer Barabara Hammet combines both practical skill and interpretive vision in this new and exciting collection of cross stitch projects. Drawing her inspiration from the surviving examples of the art of ancient Celtic kingdoms, she's produced a series of stunning re-workings of the classical Celtic swirling shapes and sinuous forms that are at once both modern and timeless. Projects include pin cushions, needle cases, bookmarks, box lids, cushions, table cloths, place mats, and more! and there's many more patterns to suit every level of skill, plus a motif library to provide plenty of inspiration for further projects.
