Customer Reviews

Good designs but charts are too small

With better charts I would have given this book 5 stars, but the charts for the larger designs are very small and not easy to read. If you don't have easy access to a photocopier or scanner to increase the size, I wouldn't recommend this book. If you like to stitch flowers, I think Jayne Netley Mayhew's Cross Stitch Flowers is the better choice.

Beautiful and simple designs

This is a beautiful book. At the beginning of each chapter there is some information about the flowers in the designs. The book includes many well-detailed projects,(for example: a clock,sampler,cushion,greeting cards,tablecloth,...). There is a photograph for each end result. One can also adapt the designs to use in one's own projects. The floral designs are beautifully simple and not time consuming to stitch, the colors are very life-like. The thread charts include DMC, Anchor and Madeira. Though the design charts are in black & white they are real easy to follow. I hesitate a lot before I order a book with no review, but I'm glad I ordered this one.
