Beautiful book!

This book has so many beautiful flowers to embroider with lots of different stitches. Wonderful!

This book is sectioned into the flowers you can make in the front, followed by a clear how-to for each type of stitch required to make the flowers in the back. Each flower gets its own page, which includes a picture of the result, a graphic of which stitches are used, and a chart of the common DMC/Anchor colors that are recommended. The difficulty level is somewhere between beginner and intermediate - it had been many years since I picked up a needle and did crewel type embroidery, yet I found this to be relatively easy to interpret. I've already used it enough that I've broken the spine and the pages are falling out - and that is not a complaint but a compliment. I surprised myself with the successful results I had and believe this book makes it clear enough that you can surprise yourself, too.
