[Pamela Scott]

Diagrams in black and white, large enough to easily see. Color pictures of finished cross stitch. Many small patterns and designs that can be combined. Includes instructions and info for beginners.

[Francine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderfully beautiful designs, many from the 19th century, easily incorporated into today's designs and with the stories behind them. Just a beautiful book to look at and can there ever be enough beauty in the world.
