With so much covered you are sure to find something for
every occasion and every theme.
The diagrams are easy to follow and
are a really good size.
I decided for my first motif I would
try and make my niece an Easter Card.

I made a mistake with the right hand wing
but that was just the brain fog and not the pattern.
I really enjoyed making it and it was really
easy to follow the chart.
I loved the design and will be making
loads more in the book for other occasions.
If you cross stitch then this book
is a fantastic addition to your library.
It's one you'll use time and again.
Now for the fun part.

Good Luck!!!
