It's quite deceiving that the title says "christmas remembered" because when I opened it up it had nothing to do with Christmas at all.... at least it was not something that I could see. But I was still pleased with what I have because the book contains cross stitches of mainly roses and some other flowers as well. So if you like flowers this is quite a good buy. I also found in useful in that I didn't have to use the whole design. I could pick out small parts of it and use it in a different way. (Like I took the butterfly design out of one page and stitched it next to someone's initials, with the butterfly perching on top.) Hope this helps, feel free to e-mail me if you would like to know more. I always find it hard to buy a book without knowing what's inside. Happy book hunting!

This is a book of a Victorian flower garden,it has absolutely nothing to do with x-mas.Most of the designs are of roses and cherubic children, there are also some violets and butterflies and a couple of fairy flowers. The layout of the book is very good, the charts are in color and very well defined; but I personally found the designs too old- fashioned and I did not like the colors used in the patterns very much.

Gorgeously photographed; beautifully printed; clear, concise patterns and directions. A lovely book even for those who do not stitch. Currently priced at 24.95 that is a little steep. Under 15.00 would probably make this a run-a-way best seller.

Wow..if you love roses and things victorian, cottage and just beautiful you will love this book!! It has timeless designs and nothing "dated" in a negative way.
