I am what most would call a beginning cross stitcher but I brought this book because I wanted to look at folk art and traditional cross stitch patterns. The book is not a book on how to do cross stitch, there are several volumes out there on that topic which are fantastic. This book is not a how to guide, it is a book with over 100 old fashioned folk art designs. They are all printed in black and white and could be used for anything from cross stitch to needle point or ever as knitting patterns. The designs range from mythical beasts to elaborate boarders. I would have liked to have seen more ideas on how to use the patterns included in the book, but for the price, it's a hard volume to beat.
