Another book of paper embroidery patterns from Erica Fortgens....there is a nice variety but the book is small with only 48 pages. Especially like the heart patterns. No outside templates are needed, which is great but did not like the patterns with 3-D embellishments!

I really enjoyed this book, it has some very innovative patterns, using silk ribbons as well as embroidery and fine sewing thread. I am new to this craft, and the directions were very well-written.

This book came to me really quickly. I have enjoyed working on some of the projects in this book.
I wish Amazon had moe of these kind of books to offer. This is a fairly inexpensive craft to work on.
