5.0 out of 5 stars Quality time with Mary Engelbreit, March 1, 2007

Mary Engelbreit is one of my favorite designers. In fact, she has her studio in our city although I have never had the pleasure of meeting her.

This pamphlet has 27 of Mary's designs that you can create to make your own special piece. Maybe some tea towels for the kitchen with a coffee cup or tea pot or pillows for the living room with a comfy chair or a house. How about some pillowcases for the King in your house with a crown?

You could even make Fido a cover for his dog bed and put a Scottie on it. You might want to spice up your gardening gloves with a watering can or a flower. I could go on and on about all the items you could make using Mary's designs. Put your thinking caps on and grab some floss, a needle and whatever fabric you plan to use and create your own pieces for family or friends.

The designs are in color so you don't have to wonder if you are looking at the correct symbol for the color. The chart is large enough that even with eyes that aren't 20/20, you will be able to read it. There are suggested words to add to your designs also.

Two pages of how-to's are included so you know how to read the charts if you are a beginner and there are stitching tips that even the most experienced stitcher will appreciate. Grab a copy and spend some quality time with Mary and her designs.

The designs are cute (and that's why I rated it with 3 stars), however, I was expecting more. It did not fulfill my expectations.
