4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't break any creative barriers, March 14, 2002

This review is from: Donna Kooler's 555 Cross-Stitch Motifs (Hardcover)

This book is similar in style to the other "555" cross stitch pattern books by Kooler. While many designs are attractive and eye-catching, Kooler hasn't broken any creative barriers in this book. The use of color is good and there is a variety of designs for novice level to expert. However, the range of designs is more limited in this book as compared to others by this author. I have a large collection of cross stitch books and consider it a good addition. But, this is not the book to buy if you are new to cross stitch or looking for basic designs. This book should be one you'd get to supplement your existing collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its O.K., February 10, 2003

This review is from: Donna Kooler's 555 Cross-Stitch Motifs (Hardcover)

I think this book has some great, fun wedding, and pet designs. But, if yours like me, no pets at the time and everyone married, a big part of the book is a waste of time. I did like this book because I'm a big fan of Donna Kooler, but I wasn't going crazy with excitment when I saw it. I really liked her book, " For the Young at Heart". Nice addition to your collection, but if money is tight, spend it on another Kooler design book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Similar to the Other 555 Kooler Books, February 8, 2003

Mostly a home and family oriented design book :family, children, pets,etc.
A complementing book to the 555 pattern series, very similar in themes and style. Maybe this book has a bit more sayings than the others. My favorite design in this book was the Safari-style children's alphabet. I do like the Kooler designs but it's time for something new, something more creative.
