Summary: A must have for every cross stitcher
Comment: I found this book while looking for some holiday gift ideas and bought it because it has everything! Most of the charts are perfect for small gifts like ornaments, gift bags and bookmarks. The borders, flower patterns and fun alphabet patterns are easy to combine for larger projects as well. All you need is a little imagination and some graph paper and you can create your own fun projects based on the designs in this book.

Summary: Nice book, but not *just right* for all stitchers
Comment:

Small designs on every subject and for every occassion. The designs can be used well on household items, to decorate clothing, for ornaments, bookmarks and small gift bags and tags. Color charts. Chapters include:

Florals; For Little Ones (children); Symbols of Love; Christmas Fun; Santas and Snowmen; Borders and Patterns; Country Patterns; Americana; Year-Round Holidays; Nature Designs; Animals; Alphabets and Numbers; Sports, Professions and Pastimes; Cross-Stitch Basics; From Start to Finish (tips and techniques); Specialty Stitches; Patterns & Instructions; Extensive Index

This book is perfect for the stitcher that likes to take various motifs, and put them together in her own way rather than for the stitcher that likes to have a complete project to stitch and finish "just like the picture." I like the myriad of designs, but find that when I use the book, I need to make a working copy that I enlarge to make reading the charts easier. I've used some of the Borders and Patterns for creating bookmarks. There are lots of great idea starters here.

Summary: Would buy it again if I didn't already have it!
Comment: This is one of the best cross stitch books around. You really get your money's worth. This makes a great gift.
