Gillian Souter's own individual style combines a love of all things small and furry with a touch of humour - and this book has both in abundance. There are woolly sheep gambolling across a pillow that will certainly help anybody get to sleep, the koala family enjoying an evening of domestic bliss, and a series of whimsical cards to stitch, such as 'Happy Bearthday' or 'Bear Up ' specially for a poorly friend. A little bluebird designed as a nursery frieze will bring a wry smile to every mother, while the cheerful rabbit sliding up and down the letters of the alphabet can't fail to be a great hit with all the children. Colour charts and full instructions for making each project are side by side with the designs, making the sections compact and easy to follow.
