This is a celebration of the work of the late Jo Verso, bringing her first and most successful title back into print, in an extended 20th anniversary edition. Picture It in Cross Stitch was a ground-breaking book enabling cross stitchers to celebrate their own lives - their families, their homes and their personal stories - in stitches. The original text has been completely updated and is illustrated with the very best examples of Jo's work taken from all six of her published books. Computer generated colour charts and new colour photography, specially commissioned for this anniversary edition bring this cross stitch classic up to date. A Life In Stitches gives a fascinating insight into Jo's life from her daughters, Amy and Nancy, who provided the inspiration for many of Jo's designs.
