Lifelike flower designs...
Cross-Stitch Florals is a design book of bright and crisp images. Not all the charts have photographed finished textiles, but the charts that have been photographed are very attractive. The colors used are bold, bright and lifelike. Included are: Anchor to DMC chart, and inches to metric chart. Color charts (555) are on 10x10 grid, easy to follow, with a floss legend on each page. The introduction includes: fabric, floss, design size, needles, stitching and finishing techniques. The finished pieces have vivid, true to life colors and the color photos are inspiring. It will take some imagination for 90% of the charts that aren't photographed, but this book is a nice addition to a stitching library. I purchased it after looking through the book, so I wasn't surprised by the few color photos.

Whats all the negative fuss about?
I thought this book was very interesting when I got it. There are really unusual floral designs. They want you to work them as a grouping. Sure, you have to use your imagination on the end result, but so what. I would rather have more graphs then pages of talk and pictures. Really unusual, classy, designs. Vases, realistic flowers, unusual animals and borders. I think some of these will be good for a man and his office. And we know how hard it is to find mens designs.

Simple designs, but very good.
I really like that the designs are printed in color. They are simple but beautiful.This is my favorite of Marie Barber's books. ... Read more

Two-hour Quilted Christmas Projects by Cheri Saffiote
I was very pleased to receive this book.The condition of this book was excellant.I was also very impressed at how fast I received the book.I had it in less than two weeks. This is a light-hearted book of simple quilting projects.
Some quilting books are a disappointment and don't deliver the content you expect from the cover, but "Two-Hour Quilted Christmas Projects" is terrific. The items are easy and refreshing. The patterns and directionsare complete. This book deliversmore than I expected. Although thehardcover price was hard to accept I think I will get my money's worthbecause I will actually make several of the projects in the book.

Editorial Review

Drawn from Victorian originals, the 50-plus projects in this book provide a how-to survey of some favorite 19th-century crafts, a good introduction for anyone looking to try out a variety of skills before deciding which to pursue in depth. Designs range from needlework (quilting, needlepoint, cross-stitch, lacework, tassel making, beading) to papercraft (decoupage, quilling, papier-mâché) to floral and shell work, all accompanied by good color photos. ...
