Got this book from the library and I was excited because it seemed like the perfect source to help me complete a few more entries for the county fair. Unfortunately none of the projects I completed turned out very cute without significant alterations to the design. The butterfly silhouette, for example, looks more like a moth in person and needed about double the stitches recommended by the book to be redeemed. This may be just my taste, however, and there are plenty of small designs to choose from in here to get you started. Just proceed with an open mind as you may need to add your own flourishes for your creation to feel “finished.”
