Summary: A charming collection of counted cross stitch folk designs..
Review: An introduction discusses many origions throughout ethinic groups, religions and countries over hundreds of years. Each plate is numbered with their "probable origin, date and use of pattern." References include: falcons, carnations, peacocks, tree of life, pomegranite, and numerous other plants and animals.The actual 95 charts are monochrome on 5x5 grid. They are printed as repeating bands on 40 pages. The grid is a little small (can easily be enlarged on a copier), but being black and white makes the charts relatively easy to follow. The charts can be stitched with one color, with shaded floss, or any color combinations you choose. The front cover motif is a collection of individual bands, a true sample of the contents of this charming Dover publication. This is an inexpensive but pleasing addition to any stitching library.
