Enchanting Cross Stitch Book of Daniela Drescher illustrations by Acufactum

Creating something beautiful and lasting with your own hands is a beneficial balance to the often turbulent everyday life. To feel how a cross stitch grows and develops slowly and carefully is an enrichment for the mind and soul.

Daniela Drescher creates and illustrates delicate figures, flora and fauna and takes us to enchanted worlds that touch our hearts. This book has 19 easy to follow charts, even for beginners, that are finely detailed and have a modern feel. Towards the back of the book are also images of the fabrics that correspond with these cross stitch patterns.

Inside the book there is a QR code that will take you to 8 inspirational short videos with creative tips and tutorials which can have translation into English added very easily - clear instructions will be sent with the book along with a DMC conversion chart.

Although the book is written in German, the cross stitch charts are clear and easy to follow. If you wish to read the German writing, downloading the Google Translate app works perfectly for reading each and every word in the book. Once the app is downloaded onto your phone or tablet, you just press the ‘camera’ option, hold your phone or tablet over the writing and look through the lens to see that all of the writing changes to English!
