Murdoch Books, Australia, 2010. Good secondhand copy.

Strawberry shortcakes, plump macarons, toffee apples, and ice-cream sundaes—these mouthwatering motifs in delicious colors will inspire crafters to create beautiful gifts and accessories for the home.

The 53 projects collected here include placemats, napkins, bibs, bags, aprons, cushions, and tea towels, but once one has mastered the simple cross-stitch, the possibilities are endless. Motifs are embroidered on impossibly chic French homewares in colors and styles that are appealing to make for and with children, each project is illustrated with a full-page photograph and grid, and the motifs can be used to transform and embellish an endless array of homewares and accessories.
