New inspiration for x-stitches

I'm over the moon about the 2 new books about x-stitches, which I recived today. Well, I actually got 4 books, but the other ones are fiction and not about stitches (it's Berlinerpoplerne and Eremitkrebsene by Norwegian Anne B. Ragde).

I bought the embroidery books in France, and they are both full of inspirational ideas for making logos and pictograms with needle and thread. I'm almost certain, that I will get hooked on sewing edged people and traffic signs.
France really have a whole lot of fantastic books about x-stitching in a new and different way. I would never have discovered it, if it wasn't for the wonderful people I have been so fortunate to get in touch with through flickr, blogs and etsy.

    They really are are, Oiyi. I can hardly decide which one to begin with! ;))

    And there are so many possibilities of using the icons.

    ..........

    Super gode bøger, ea-o! Jeg har også købt håndarbejds blade i Frankrig da vi var der en sommer. Jeg drog hjem med en kæmpe stak, så jeg blev "moppet" af min mand. ;))

    Se oplysninger om bøgerne nederst.

    ...............

    Hvor er det sødt sagt, Merete. Tusind tak. :)) Og i lige måde. Jeg elsker altså dit strik. :))

    Den ene bog hedder Industire Chic og den anden hedder Pictos, logos et autres tags au point de croix. Begge har jeg købt på Amazon.

    Thank you so much sweet Amy. :)) The books are fabulous and I know that I will get to use them a lot.

    I think that you should try x-stitches because I know that you could make wonders with that kind of stitches as well. :))

    Have a wonderful day,
    XO Ulla

    I'm looking so much forward to reading Anne B. Ragde's books, Siena. :))

    The embroidery books are called:

    "Industrie Chic"
    and
    "Pictos"

    and they are both bought on Amazon. :))
