Summary: The best cross stitch book for small items I've seen
Review: This book is wonderful. The color choices are beautiful and soothing and the small items make the projects enticing to start. I bought the book and immediately made 3 things (bookmark, stitch-a-clip, and keyring). Usually I plan to make items and it takes a while to find the time to start or finish. This is a great book for any crafter!

Summary: Great ideas for small projects
Review: This is a collection of small cross-stitch projects, many of which are perfect for gifts. The book's chapters are organized by type of project--eg, Designs for Baby, Designs for Mugs, Designs for Towels, Designs for Bookmarks, etc. Although not all of the designs are pictured as finished products, the charts are clear and simple enough to allow you to imagine the finished version. The designs are beautiful without being complicated (ie, not a lot of half-stitches or backstitching). Some basic alphabets are also included to customize your projects. Overall, this is an excellent book for beginning and other cross-stitchers who enjoy small, manageable projects and who like giving their work as gifts.
