Learn to stitch a stretching cat, a band of woodland friends, or a fun silhouette of Noah's Arc. Let a tiger leap through the forest while an elephant trumpets nearby, and, of course, the dogs will want to go for a run. By the end of this book, you'll have your own counted cross stitch menagerie. Sample designs were stitched on a variety of 32, 35, 36 and 40 count fabrics before being custom framed. Stitch counts measure between approximately 99w x 99h and 123w x 102h.
