5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Book!!, November 1, 2001

This review is from: Cross Stitch: Inspirations in Color (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised and really impressed with this book.
More than 100 beautiful designs are categorized in 7 chapters according to color:rose,green,red,violet,blue,orange and yellow.
With lots of borders and many florals one can incorporate these lovely designs in various projects like linen and other home-related items. The possibilities are endless. The charts are in color and very clear. The photography is beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars who doesn't love colors, April 23, 2001

This review is from: Cross Stitch: Inspirations in Color (Paperback)

This book is divided in color chapters. There are both small and big designs. If you want something to decorate your house or walls just pick the main color and find the design you like. Useful for pillowcovers, kitchen decoration, pictures to hang on the wall and much more. A real inspiration. The charts are clear and vivid. Beautiful pictures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely designs, but infuriatingly misleading, September 5, 2008

By 

bookfreak "mjm55" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cross Stitch: Inspirations in Color (Paperback)

There are many beautiful designs in this book. HOWEVER, the charts are NOT provided for the majority of the loveliest and most interesting designs that are shown in the photographs. This includes (which I find unconscionable) the elegant iris band featured on the front cover! That was the design that prompted me to get the book, but the chart to stitch it is not provided.

If you're considering purchasing this book, please find it in a bookstore first, and review it CAREFULLY. Chances are, there will be at least one or two designs in each color category that you'd like to do but cannot, because the charts are not included.
