5.0 out of 5 stars Best "Small Designs" Book, December 21, 2001

By

This review is from: 501 Cross Stitch Designs (Paperback)

This book has been around for some time now and since I'm not partial to small designs because I prefer big projects,I never got around to buying this book,but since Amazon has introduced its new and wonderful "Look Inside" feature I got the chance to look through some of its pages and found that the designs though small are rich with color and detail. The designs are original they range from playful and fun to sophisticated and fancy. The charts are of good size,in black and white but very clear to follow. The photographs of all the end results are included. Some of the designs can be done in as little as 15 minutes,the most complicated in two hours.I'm glad I bought this book,I've already finished a simple project with one of its designs which only took me an hour and a half. With 501 designs I'm sure to find a couple of hundred more to work on.

This review is from: 501 Cross Stitch Designs (Paperback)

The book is my most tresured and used possessions. I also do my own designs but often use 501 Cross Stich Designs for a refrence.Recently I found an other use for the instructions , Iam using the designs as audioscope paterns for WebTv and have had many complinents on the finished pictures, just to bad thatPC's can not read them, they are missing out. The book is definitely my most used craftbook, with the many designs for all occassions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good designs., December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 501 Cross Stitch Designs (Paperback)

This is generally a good book, I use it quite a bit for designs. However, the charts are not as readable as they could be. For example, the Englebreit books are excellent in this respect and have better color. From a fourteen year old who has been doing cross stitch for three years.
