Book Description
"Well-designed projects, some contemporary and some traditional...using 18th- and 19th-century motifs....All are charted in black-and-white with DMC and Anchor thread keys, lists of materials, and good color photographs of the finished samplers. They are embroidered in traditional cross stitch with very little backstitch outlining...a good example of American sampler design in an area of craft books that is usually dominated by European imports."--LJ. 144 pages (73 in color), 67 b/w illus., 8 1/2 x 11.

This book has some bold colors, something that a lot of sampler designs miss. Also, since this is a sampler book, and mostly not of the old alphabet type, you can do portions of most of the graphs and have a good smaller project. A good variety of subjects, too, including some for children's rooms.
