My Review

I loved the clean and simple design and composition of the photos and information in this book. The directions are clear and easy to follow, and the patterns are pleasing without being complicated. I especially liked the butterfly, florals, border designs, and monograms. There is a variety of subjects so something will appeal to each reader. The outline patterns for each are included in the back of the book for copying. Instructions for transfer are included in the beginning information, as well as tips for using fabric, thread, and supplies. I love that this is a craft that does not require a pile of equipment! This book is perfect for beginners or artists who enjoy simplicity.
