A Rainbow of Stitches: Embroidery and Cross-Stitch Basics Plus More Than 1,000 Motifs and 80 Project Ideas by Agnes Delage-Calvet, Anne Sohier-Fournel, Muriel Brunet, Francoise Ritz + Frederic Lucano (Photographer). Watson-Guptill; Original edition (October 20, 2009).

Lovely book – lots of inspiration – not your usual motifs – some unusual and interesting and unique designs. I particularly enjoy how the book is organised into colour. But it has very limited how-to … and is not recommended for the beginner stitcher.

Etsy storque has an online tutorial to make one of the lovely projects featured in the book – jam jar toppers.
