Beautiful book with quick and easy cross-stitch projects., May 26, 1999

This review is from: One-Hour Cross Stitch (Hardcover)

This book has lots of small 2-color and 3-color motifs that can be used individually or in combination. Each motif has approx. 150 stitches -- just the right amount to do in an hour. The designs are shown in a variety of uses. For example, the same motif used on a sweatshirt might also be used on a bookmark.

The excellent Table of Contents and Index makes finding just the right project easy. Projects are divided into these categories:
[1] For Grown-ups
[2] For Kids
[3] For the Kitchen
[4] For the Home
[5] For Gift Giving
[6] For the Holidays
[7] General cross-stitch instructions
[8] Finishing Instructions

The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of finished pieces as well as clear black and white charts. Charts are written for use with DMC floss.

The only thing slightly deceiving about the book's title is that you must realize that the "one-hour" is for each motif -- not each project. For example, I stitched a bookmark with four motifs, so the entire project took about four hours to complete, not one hour. It's a beautiful book, with simple quick projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy, lovely, March 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One-Hour Cross Stitch (Hardcover)
I got this for my sister, who is into cross-stitch and incorporating small designs into bigger projects. She wanted a book with clear, simple, everyday stuff to add to her work, and this book is PERFECT. The designs are clear, the directions are good, the photographs are remarkably lovely and presented in a very pleasing way. She loves it, and others who'd seen the book developed itchy-fingers to do some cross-stitch themselves!

This review is from: One-Hour Cross Stitch (Hardcover)
Another book full of smaller patterns, perfect if you only have a small area in which to stitch.
