If you enjoy Asian designs, this one will do the trick,
This review is from: Oriental Cross Stitch: 25 Exquisite Designs Inspired by the Far East (Hardcover)
If you have a passion for cross-stitch, and are as particular in your design choice as I am, then this is a wonderful adition to your collection. I only stitch Asian designs, which are quite difficult to find among the hoards of seasonal samplers. I speacial ordered this volume from a European stitching magazine a while ago and was delighted to find that every design gave me a thrill. The thread codes are listed for both DCM and Anchor. There are also little blurbs for each design detailing why the author/designer choose to include it in the book and why she personally enjoyed stitching it. I have complete numerous designs in this collection and am pleased to say that guests continually make positive comments when they see them. If you enjoy Asain stitch-work, this collection is a definite must have.

Simple designs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oriental Cross Stitch: 25 Exquisite Designs Inspired by the Far East (Hardcover)
The designs are simple with a two-dimensional quality. For example, most of the floral and animal designs use only two or three colors (in bands from light to dark). Cross Stitchers Oriental Odyssey by Joan Elliott is far superior to this book if you are interested in Asian designs.

oriental cross stich,
By "aprilred" (Taipei Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oriental Cross Stitch: 25 Exquisite Designs Inspired by the Far East (Hardcover)
I ordered this book because this is the only oriental cross stitch book that I found, and waited eagerly to see the designs only to be disappointed. As for someone who is living in Far East, this may not be the book to suit your expectations. For others who love to stitch Asian designs, this may be ok to be added in your collection, but for me, I think it was a big mistake to buy this book. Definitely not a good buy!!!
