Charts that stand the test of time

I had to buy myself a copy of this book after I borrowed a copy from the public library. I liked it that much. This book has 42 projects in all skill levels. Color photos of all projects are included in two gallery sections interspersed within the charts. Many of the projects also have black and white photos on the same page as the chart. Charts are black and white with symbols. Designs are charted for DMC and J&P Coats floss. Most charts seem "squished" to me. I definitely used enlarged photocopies when working these designs. Charts are not computer-generated, so they appear uneven in appearance. Designs include trays, ornaments, bandings, framed pieces, bibs and other baby items, towels and linens, pillows, and more. I really like the designs in this book, but I think many of the color combinations used are awful. So I take liberty with my floss color choices.

this hardcover book includes many cross stitch patterns that you will want to stitch for yourself or for gift-giving. Chapters include Baby gifts, cat fancier gifts and heirloom gifts. The baby section has adorable animals and the cat section has many great cat patterns in all sizes. I like especially the smaller projects which are nice for gift giving in a hurry. A great book for the stitcher's collection.
