Book description from back cover

Imagine the ideal collection of cross-stitch projects. It would include samplers, of course, great gift ideas, and home accessories and the designs would range from the traditional to the contemporary. And every single one of them would be gorgeous. One look through the 55 projects in this full-color volume proves that dreams really do come true. Sampler fans will find plenty to keep their needles flying, including a regal formal garden, lovable teddy bears, blossoming cacti, and a sampler with a classic antique motif. Decorate the home with bright windmill cushions, a Tunisian rug or beach-hued shell towels. A pineapple glasses case, a colorful pincushion, and hen table linens are among the small projects that make ideal gifts. There are plenty of kid-pleasers, too -- a toys rug, badges to sew on clothes, and a bear blanket. With such a wonderfully varied assortment of projects, all cross-stitchers will find designs to send them running for their supplies.

very pretty

I agree with the above writer. The larger charts are small but could easily be blown up on a copier. The smaller designs are very large. Black and white. I think these would be great for needlepoint lovers also.
