Reviews

[Emily]

The narrator was extremely annoying, but the designs were incredible: beautiful, crazy and everything in between. You can really sense the kinds of drugs these people were on by the designs featured here.

[Bea Byrne]

Fascinating how many people took part , but such a shame that the photographs aren’t better.

[Carlyn]

found this treasure at the thrift store and it has the most ambitious, inspiring needlework fathomable.
