Stitched Cards and Gift Tags for Special Occasions

Library Journal

Exchanging small pieces of needlework with one's friends has a long tradition, and there is nothing nicer than a hand-stitched card or tag to express friendship. Cards with openings to accommodate stitchery can be purchased or made from cardstock. A freelance embroiderer and author, Phillipson (Celtic Cross-Stitch Designs) provides colored charts, materials lists, and Anchor thread keys for counted cross-stitch vignettes in just the right size for standard greeting cards, gift tags, and bookmarks. Included are designs from several countries for international holidays and year-round general use. An excellent addition to public library needlework collections.
