Reviews

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rather nice but not what I am looking for right now. The designs run the gamut of tradition Victorian to modern but sometimes are vague for the alterations like the Victorian Wreath "slight changes" make the yellow wreath, which was what I would have liked. Most patterns are full scale so they run several pages. Almost all are large, nothing really less than 19x19 inches and use Aida, linen and evenweave so there is a good variety in material as well.

Very nice book.

A bit heavy on the framed and mounted projects but enough variety to please most stitchers.
