Lovely Instructional Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a great pattern book especially for small designs. Beautiful, colorful directions which can be incorporated into the construction of many items or simply used to add unique touches to clothing, household or craft items. There are many uses for the designs illustrated in this attractive book.
Great if you like to make your own charts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Although the color pictures in this book gave me a lot of inspiration, the charts were done in an unusual way which might not appeal to everyone. The author simply gives colored in charts, more like a photograph of the finished product. Color is more appealing than black and white, but I am new to embroidery and the idea of not having a detailed chart kind of overwhelmed me.Also, there are a few large designs, but most of the material in this book is in small motifs or border designs. The title doesn't really give this impression, so I think it is important to let the reader know this ahead of time.To its credit, the book gives lots of ideas on how to use the designs, and various projects you can make for gifts. Overall I think it is a fine book to have in a general needlework library.
