This series of cross-stitch chart books brings together the work of your favourite cross stitch designers. Each title in the series contains 10 pages of charted cross stitch designs on one popular subject. Every chart includes an easy-to-use key, and an inspirational colour photograph of each finished piece shows the fantastic results to be achieved. Each chart book also provides handy stitching tips and advice, stitch diagrams, guidance on techniques and materials, and a thread conversion chart to ensure you have all the information required to complete every design featured. From the biggest polar bear to playful penguins, arctic life is evoked through these two very different creatures. A polar bear mother stands watch over her cubs as they rest on an Arctic ice flow, while another cub and his mother take a stroll together through the snow. Grand emperor penguins, with their distinguished yellow marking, warm their chicks, while another pair rest after a long day's fishing. A group of Antartic Adelie penguins launch themselves into the cold sea. Finally, a cute penguin chick and a pair of polar bear cubs make charming small pictures.
