By A Customer

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in embroidery at all. The patterns are stylishly simplistic and are really up to date. There are lots of different project ideas. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. A great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Dreaming!, November 25, 2001

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book for beginners, or those like myself whose skills from childhood are extremely rusty. The projects are beautifully photographed and encourage you to dream of the beauty you can create with very simple stitches artfully done! This would make a great gift.
