Now with even better chart images Each design in the Egyptian Collection is carefully created by hand, one stitch at a time, translating Egyptian art into cross stitch motifs. All are inspired by Ancient Egyptian art, including the Book of the Dead (a book of prayers and blessings for the recently departed, not the dark forces that the movies would tell you ). Work a full sampler or use the individual motifs to decorate anything from cards and bookmarks to towels and tablecloths. When you buy this book, the blessings continue 100% of royalties go to the MS Society, helping the fight against MS the world over. Information about the good cause you're helping is included in the book. The glossy soft-back book contains charts and full instructions to complete the full sampler or individual motifs. Charts are in full colour with symbols in black overlaid on colour blocks making them bright and easy to follow. Dimensions are given for three counts of fabric and each key is provided for three major brands of cotton floss.

About the Author

Juliet is a writer, photographer and designer of needlework and knitting patterns from the North East of England. She was writing stories and rhymes before she could even do joined up writing. She writes fiction and hopes to release something soon, possibly under another name to avoid confusion between her design work and her writing. Her latest venture is a supernatural murder mystery horror. "Perhaps not what you'd expect from an arts and crafts person" she says grinning, "It's quite brutal!". She donates all proceeds from sales of her needlework designs to the MS Society. To learn more, visit http: //www.mssociety.org.uk
