 a pretty good book, something for everyone September 18, 2004

I checked this book out of my local library, and it's actually pretty good. There are color photos of every finished pattern, and the charts (several in color) are very easy to follow.
Most of the patterns can be stitched by beginner to intermediate stitchers and do not involve specialty stitches. There are some nice samplers, a really cool nautical alphabet design, and a cute alphabet pattern for children.
The book is chock-full of patterns. There really should be something of interest to everyone in this book.
 Well, maybe not the *best,* but pretty good. June 25, 2002

Projects in this volume include traditional samplers, framed pieces, contemporary motifs, afghans, florals, door hangers, pillows, coasters, table linens and napkin rings, picture frames, birth samplers, tags, pouches, nameplates, stockings and more. The color photos are nice, though most projects do not have close-up images. They do depict how the project might be used in a room setting. The charts are symbols of black and red ink on blue graphs. This book is a nice, inexpensive supplement to a cross-stitch library.
