This review is from: Cross Stitch Wit & Wisdom: Over 45 Designs With Words to Brighten Your Day (Paperback)
Many different designs even though they all fall in the "girlie" category. It is not for beginners, mostly advanced I think.

The instructions look well done,

I haven't tried any of the designs yet, but the instructions and patterns look clear and easy to follow. Some of the designs are a little too cute for me, but others are beautiful. I didn't care for the "funny-looking people" either, but I liked the cats, the Chinese proverbs, the anniversary, and Eastern promise.
