so pretty!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Beautiful photos, easy techniques. So far, this book is a pleasure to leaf through. I'm sure I will enjoy the projects once I begin. Marsh has arranged her works well, going from simple to more challenging designs. And even the simplest ones are pretty, too. She also gives complete explantations of every stitch she uses, so this is indeed a great one for beginners (as indicated by the title!). The projects contained feature many flowers and girlish designs, just so you know. Maybe that's not for everyone. But it's for me!
