 The freshness of blue and white March 30, 2007
I bought this book because I like blue and white colour combinations. The patterns in this book are simple, and I'd recommend this book to either those who are cross-stitch beginners or those, who like me, can't get enough possible motifs to work in this colour combination.
If you are looking for more challenging cross-stitch patterns, you can adapt some of these but you may prefer to look at other books.
In the world of cross-stitch, the possibilities are endless!

good for quick work September 2, 2003
Although this book does not offer very difficult or time consuming patterns, I have used several of them for gift items, such as table napkins, napkin rings, and bandanas for headwear and found the patterns more than satisfactory for these uses.

Unless you want very simple beginning cross stich, you will not like this book. The designs are unrealistic and uninteresting. A good deal of the book is taken up by the history of the art form and even that is not well written. Save your money there are better books out there.
