Customer Reviews

Beautiful book and projects

I bought this book about 2 years ago and I still love it. I've used the alphabet most often (there are 2 kinds; one of them is more curvey the other has straighter lines) and embroidered just about anything around me. Napkins, my handkerchiefs. I also ended up doing my husbands handkerchiefs. The insructions are very clear and the projects are charming. This book is going to be up to date even in 10 years because this look is timeless so purchase it with confidance - if there's any left. I was sorry to see the book is out of print.

Great Book

I really love this book! It has a bunch of fun fresh designs for more novice embrioders. I first rented this from the Library and I loved it so much that I bought it! I highly suggest this book!

Beautiful Dreaming!

This is a wonderful book for beginners, or those like myself whose skills from childhood are extremely rusty. The projects are beautifully photographed and encourage you to dream of the beauty you can create with very simple stitches artfully done! This would make a great gift.

This is a great book!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in embroidery at all. The patterns are stylishly simplistic and are really up to date. There are lots of different project ideas. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. A great buy!
