Have you checked out the MyCraftivity Shop sales and clearance section yet? Under Cross Stitch and Needle Arts, there are several great titles at reduced prices. Here are just two:

New Anchor Book of Pulled Thread Embroidery Stitches by Christine Wilkins is sale priced at $6 (a 50% savings). The catalog description reads: Pulled thread is a type of openwork embroidery where the threads of the fabric are pulled back tautly to make decorative holes. This book introduces 27 stitches that can be worked in this way. In addition a further 18 counted stitches are featured that can be used to complement the pulled thread work. All stitches are explained in step-by-step detail. Sixteen original charted designs explore the exciting textural effects that can be achieved: e.g., coil filling stitch perfectly captures the seeded flesh of a luscious strawberry, while the ripple stitch evokes the gentle waves beneath a sailing boat. Other designs include a basket of flowers, sunflowers and roses, and a dragonfly. Pulled thread stitches are ideal for samplers, and an attractive design is included that would be ideal for celebrating a birth or a wedding. If you've never tried pulled thread embroidery, here's a chance to learn a new technique and have a valuable resource at hand--and at a savings as well!

120 Celebration Cross Stitch Cards by Gillian Souter is a terrific source of cross stitch motifs for holidays throughout the year. This hardbound collection offers 140 color photos and 123 color charts for only $12.50 (again, a whopping 50% savings).
