If you are just starting on cross stitching this is the book for you! I use it if I want to make a gift tag or something small. But I use it more to teach my friends how to do what I do.
I work on much bigger project but this is a must have in any library.

I'm very pleased with this book, cause it was really hard to find this kind of book in my city and i really found this book useful. the designs inside were beautiful and mesmerizing. the instructions for threads coloring were easy and if you like, you can change it with your preference.

This is my first cross stitch book, and I find it great! In variety of designs, creativity and wide range designs for any occasion. I like that it brings easy to do as well as more complicated designs. Overall a nice bible to refer anytime.
Fantastic reference 2007-08-14
I simply *LOVE* this book. Its a reference I have returned to again and again for little motifs, alphabets, borders... I've made ornamets, full framed wall pieces... its simply excellent. There are pages for each season and holiday (including Hanukkah), state flowers, babies, toys, kitchens, pets, professions, and more. If you enjoy cross stitch, you cannot go wrong with this full-color easy-to-read book. Every graph has a finished photo. Can't praise it enough!

You need this one 2007-02-11
This has designs for everything. I love it. If you like to cross stitch you need this book. It shows you what each designs looks like finished. It has small designs that can be used anywhere or be used together. I have used it to make towels,bibs, breadcloths, for use with waste canvas. This is the best value ever, I wish they would make another one.
