Wild Flowers in Cross Stitch (Cross Stitch)

Rating:
Summary: Wild Flowers for the accomplished stitcher
Review: The designs in this book are lovely but somewhat limited. The designs are broken into 9 sets of projects, such as gift tags, and bookmarks with a different floral motif per project. I was not particularly taken with the book as I was looking for something with more wild flowers and not "projects". There are roughly 17 different flowers or use of flowers in this small book. If you like flowers with long stems this is a great book for you, as most of the designs contain long stems. Not bad but not great.

Review: The designs in this book are simple, nice, and useful for a variety of pieces of stitching. You could do cards, samplers, sachets, towels... just about anything. I like this book, and I have a lot of cross stitching books. I'd recommend this one for stitchers of any level.

Summary: Good gift for budding cross stitcher
Review: The designs in this very slim book are very basic and few; more suitable for a beginner,since they are not overwhelming in the least. My ten year old daughter seemed to like working with this book a lot. The simple designs include a cornflower,silverweed,chicory,poppy,tufted vetch,foxglove and a few others. My favorite project was the flower panel shown on the cover which is as complicated as it gets in this book; Shirley Watt's "Flowers in Cross Stitch" is more appropriate for higher skill levels.
