Jo Verso's Cross Stitch Year: 1001 Motifs to Celebrate the Events of the Seasons

Rating:
Summary: A feast for the eye
Review: Designs for every month, every season and all (British and American) festive occasions - with clear instructions to adept patterns for a personal note. All in Jo Verso's distinctive and much loved country style. However, Verso does use a lot of half or three-quarter cross-stitches and not everyone likes to make those; they need a good eye and a steady hand and are much harder to do on popular aida fabric than on linen. Then again, there are not many other books where you will find so many designs of people in different outfits (according to occupation and season) and everyday items such as garden tools - very useful for personalized samplers.

Summary: Review of Jo Verso cross stitch book
Review: Product was brand new as advertised. Lovely hardcover book. Lots of nice small motifs for little projects, as well as larger, more intricate ones. Lots of info and patterns in this book. It is, however, a British produced and oriented book. So there are lots of motifs that really only apply to British holidays, sports, etc. But, on the otherhand, it does offer the user a variety of unusal cross stitch patterns not ordinarily found in the States. It was shipped carefully and arrived very promptly. I would not hesitate to order through this company again, nor would I hesitate in purchasing any of Jo Verso's books.
