Summary: Beautiful book with quick and easy cross-stitch projects.
Review: This book has lots of small 2-color and 3-color motifs that can be used individually or in combination. Each motif has approx. 150 stitches -- just the right amount to do in an hour. The designs are shown in a variety of uses. For example, the same motif used on a sweatshirt might also be used on a bookmark. The excellent Table of Contents and Index makes finding just the right project easy. Projects are divided into these categories:
[1] For Grown-ups
[2] For Kids
[3] For the Kitchen
[4] For the Home
[5] For Gift Giving
[6] For the Holidays
[7] General cross-stitch instructions
[8] Finishing Instructions The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of finished pieces as well as clear black and white charts. Charts are written for use with DMC floss. The only thing slightly deceiving about the book's title is that you must realize that the "one-hour" is for each motif -- not each project. For example, I stitched a bookmark with four motifs, so the entire project took about four hours to complete, not one hour. It's a beautiful book, with simple quick projects.
