Loved this one too! lots of small things that could stand alone. I would just adjust the colors to add in some corals and golds and grays.

I thought this book was super cute!! There are so many fun patterns in here and I liked quite a few of them!! I don’t know if it’s a good book for beginners or not (I am a beginner), so we will see as I try some of these! There was a nice mix of large and small projects with a healthy dose of “appliqués” or “decoration” pieces. There’s a bit nautical, beachy, ocean, beach house, alphabet, phrases, etc. There is a picture of it, then the chart, and then the “supply” list.

more nautical themed than beach which isn't what I expected from the title

Full of small, bright easy to stitch nautical designs including several samplers. If you like nautical themes in classic colours this would suit. Stitched my first design in one day adapted for a card. Fun and fast to stitch, no half or back stitches. Doesn't get any easier than that.
