Towel Toppers around the Home provides unique plastic canvas projects written at the beginner skill level. All of the patterns are stitched on 7-count canvas, and every pattern is written with a set of step-by-step instructions, a complete materials list, a color diagram and a color key. There is also a color photo of each completed project.

Plastic canvas supplies used in the book are available in local craft and needlework stores. They can also be purchased in fabric, hardware and discount stores or from the Annie's Attic catalog at AnniesAttic.com.
