| This book has been so wonderful -- the projects really ARE quick and many of the motifs are beautiful. Although I'm a slow stitcher, I've already stitched three projects from this book in the last six months and I'm getting ready to add another. If you're looking for a book with lots of ideas, this is the one. |
Full of useable ideas

| I love this book! It's full of ideas and easy to follow instructions. I bought it for the pattern ideas and designs, but it's full of cute gift ideas...VERY do-able. The patterns are simple and easy to follow, great for completing in a weekend. However, with a little imagination, the patterns can go together to create more complex designs. Beginners will appreciate that the back of the book has a section with basic stitching techniques and instructions on how to complete some of the projects. All in all, I'm very happy and got just what I expected. |

The patterns are mostly childlike in nature and very simple. It's got a few nice adult patterns but not many.
Although it does give you some pretty intersting ideas for making gifts granted I made some of the ideas but with other patterns. |
