Customer Reviews

I love almost all the patterns.

This book is full of patterns for items I want to make.

Patterns very very small

The title doesn’t speak about its contents. I would say there were around 3 designs that I like but then you can’t stitch it unless you make the patterns enlarge since its very very small. You can barely see the symbols. I’m not happy with this book. Fifty patterns? Hmmm. There only few big patterns the rest were just like around finger size.

Wildflowers? Sailboats?

China samplers, topiaries, baby sampler,hyacinths, fish sampler,teddy bears,cats, tea cozy, bibs, bed linens, towels, napkins, shopping bags, ornaments, bath sets and pillows are just some of the variety of patterns offered in this book. Some patterns are a bit on the small side, one will have to enlarge them for working comfortably. Otherwise its a wonderful book which is worth having if you fancy just one of the many themes pictured. Great addition to any stitcher's library.
