BERNE, Ind. -- Holiday Greeters is a new plastic canvas project book from DRG, featuring colorful plastic canvas projects for holiday decorating. The book is published under The Needlecraft Shop brand and retails for $7.95.

Holiday Greeters features five decorative holiday characters, each stitched on 7-count canvas and measuring about 3-feet high. Projects include a Fourth-of-July firecracker, a Halloween ghost and pumpkin, a Thanksgiving Tom turkey, a Christmas Santa and an Easter bunny.

The book includes instructions for basic plastic canvas stitches, a materials list for each project, color illustrations and a color key, and step-by-step instructions and a color photo of each completed project. All of the designs are written at the intermediate skill level.

Holiday Greeters is available from the Annie's Attic catalog, accessible on the Web at AnniesAttic.com, and from the DRG wholesale Web site at DRGWholesale.com.

The Needlecraft Shop is a prime source for plastic canvas patterns and books. The Needlecraft Shop launched in 1986 and became part of the DRG family of brands in 1994. It produces a wide variety of needlecraft patterns and books, with hundreds of designs for a number of needlecraft art forms.

DRG's publishing division encompasses additional leading brands that include Annie's Attic, American School of Needlework, House of White Birches and Clotilde.
