~ by Helen Haywood ~


 

Many of these copyrighted designs have been repeatedly displayed on The Trees of Christmas at the Smithsonian Institution and are in their permanent collection.  Each Snowflake book has some simple designs. All books have clear photos, easy-to-follow directions, new uses, a page of Helpful Hints and a chart of counted cross-stitch designs to fit into the Ring snowflakes. Each book has basic Snowflake Patterns [SP] and Ring [R] snowflake designs which are crocheted around a plastic ring to leave a center space for embroidery, photos, charms, prisms or other treasures. The books are generally 20 pages full of creative ideas and uses.  Price was $4.75 each; now $3.00 each or 4 for $10!
