I have found this as well as other books by Deanna Hall West to be very well written, very well graphed out with a lot of ideas for how one would use the design. I would not hesitate to recommend this book as I feel I am a professional designer with silk ribbon and love it.

This book is excellent for beginners. There are no projects to "do" and therefore, it allows the beginner to really challenge their creativity and imagination. It gives all the steps and stitches one needs to get started. I chose this book because I needed to know how to make basic flower stitches without the pressure of trying to duplicate someone else's creations and because there was no pressure to finish a project. This book is a must for the beginner. It was all I really needed to get a clear understanding of how to learn to create my own projects. I always refer to it when I feel I need a "push".

I found this book very easy to work with; the text is easy to read and the illustrations show how the stitches should be placed. I have created a few unique pieces using this book :O)

This book has detailed and easy steps for starting ribbon embriodery as well as advanced pieces for when you improve. Very user-friendly and non-scary!

This is a great reference book for any kind of silk ribbon embroidery flowers you might want to use. I really appreciated the chart that gave different brand of ribbons and their corresponding color matches, especially since Bucilla doesn't make their ribbon anymore. I'll be getting a lot of use out of this book for various projects.

A "must have" for "silk ribbon embroidery" lovers
