Kiku (Chrysanthemum) with Pine Needles, simple 12 division (S12).  These instruction are recommended for beginners

Sun, Sand and Surf, simple 8 division with extra guidelines (S8+).  These instructions are recommended for those with intermediate skills.  I first stitched this design for a friend while we were vacationing at the beach.  Do you see the glistening sand and the sun?  How about the blue skies or the movement of the waves? 

Interlocking Spindles & Starbursts, complex 10 division (C10).  These instructions are recommended for those with advanced skills.
