Summary: NOT a fabric floral applique, alot ribbon embellishments
Review: I had thought the book would contain much more on appliqued fabrics for flowers, birds etc. What was given was many forms of appliqued hearts, and a few other background applique projects to show off ribbon applique/embroidery. In that, I was very disapointed, by ordered online.

But if you want the book for those ideas and projects, it is excellent.

My seller was TOPS! Couldn't ask for beter.
