Wonderful Book
I have already reviewed this book, but now having had it for a number of months and worked from it I just think it is a book that every stitcher should have. Exciting colours, easy to follow and great fun to stitch. When are we getting the next one Trish?

Ines of African Stitch
A wonderful book with a vibrancy that only Africa can offer.Trish Burr has captured the magic of Africa suberbly well.A well detailed book with something for the beginner, as well as for the more advanced stitcher.
The African Cross Stitch Collection
This is a must for any cross stitchers bookshelf.The designs are fascinating and Trish has made use of the brilliant sunset shades and vivid colors associated with Africa which come to life before you as you stitch.Most designs have a dominant focal point such as a wildlife object which is framed by ethnic borders which are quite detailed but not repetitious.Every detail is outlined in fine black thread which gives it a dramatic feel and some metallic details are included to add sparkle.What I like most is that the designs can be used for any occassion both male and female, big or small and she has included a set of individual motifs at the back of the book so that you make your own designs. Will be looking out for a follow on to this one........

I really LOVED it
I STARTED CROSS STITCHING WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND ONE OF THE FIRST BOOK THAT I USED TO GET DESIGNS IS "THE BEST COLLECTIONS OF CROSS-STITCH DESIGN & HANDIWORK". IT WAS EASY TO FOLLOW AND VERY CREATIVE! ISTARTED WITH THE SMALL EASY PATERNS THEN I MOVED UP TO THE MORE CHALLENGINGONS! IT REALLY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND NOW AFTER ALMOST 15 YEARS I STILLGO BACK TO IT TO USE IT FOR MORE AND MORE DESIGNS. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT TOEVERYONE WHO REALLY LOVES TO CROSS STITCH AND DO IT BECAUSE THEY ENJOY& APPRECIATE IT. ... Read more

Wow - great cross stitch book!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who cross stitches.I got it from the library and loved it so much that I purchased it.It has pages and pages of really cute patterns.This would be a perfect book for someone who designs their own samplers or for someone who enjoys stitching smaller designs, even on bookmarks.

There are quite a few good patterns in here, with an interesting way of adding a different dimension to the final product.But the pattern that really caught my attention is that of Jesus at Gethsemane.You have to see it to feel the powerful impact. ... Read more

The Usual Suspects
This book has designs that aren't really any different than the other Kooler books.That said, I bought it anyway, to add it to my collection.There is a snowman alphabet sampler that is cute, but I'd really rather do the snowmen without the letters.There are the usual cutesy teddy bears, etc.Most of the designs would fall under the "cutesy" or "sweet" description.I hate to say it, but I've seen better designs.If you have a huge collection, this book probably won't add anything new to your design portfolio.If you're just starting, I'd pick something with a wider variety of designs. ...
