Michael Bond's Paddington Bear has captured the hearts and minds of children for over forty years, following the publication of the first Paddington novel in 1958. Since then, more than 30 million Paddington books have been published in over 30 languages, and the stories have been turned into a number of equally popular animated television series, making Paddington - in his characteristic duffel coat and floppy hat - an instantly recognizable figure worldwide. This unique collection of over thirty cross-stitch designs by Leslie Norah Hills is based on the characters and story line of the first Paddington book, A Bear Called Paddington. As well as simple cross-stitched panels, the designs present eleven attractive projects that will inspire existing Paddington fans and new bear-lovers alike, including: - a cushion - a bookmark - slippers - table linen - greetings cards - Author runs Ragged Robin Designs for her own fabric designs and is the author of The Snowman in Cross Stitch.
