Very small patterns, in size and selection
Published by Kitt , 6 months ago
Not a lot of patterns in this book, and most were holiday or children’s themed. There were some cool projects for stitching on clothing and a few little patterns that caught my eye (a few floral and some vegetables) but overall VERY outdated (not in a classic or particularly interesting way, and I collect vintage pattern books so I love a dated look) The last review for this book was 25 years ago if that should tell you anything. Overall, if you’re looking for a cheap book for some super simple beginner patterns you might like this but I wouldn’t recommend it over others
<p>Beautiful book with quick and easy cross-stitch projects.

This book has lots of small 2-color and 3-color motifs that can be used individually or in combination. Each motif has approx. 150 stitches -- just the right amount to do in an hour. The designs are shown in a variety of uses. For example, the same motif used on a sweatshirt might also be used on a bookmark.The excellent Table of Contents and Index makes finding just the right project easy. Projects are divided into these categories: [1] For Grown-ups [2] For Kids [3] For the Kitchen [4] For the Home [5] For Gift Giving [6] For the Holidays [7] General cross-stitch instructions [8] Finishing InstructionsThe book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of finished pieces as well as clear black and white charts. Charts are written for use with DMC floss.The only thing slightly deceiving about the book's title is that you must realize that the "one-hour" is for each motif -- not each project. For example, I stitched a bookmark with four motifs, so the entire project took about four hours to complete, not one hour. It's a beautiful book, with simple quick projects.
