Editorial Reviews

Boerens's (Two-Hour Cross-Stitch) second collection of small cross-stitch motifs focuses on flowers, with designs organized by type (traditional, deco, formal, and fantasy, along with a section of monograms and messages). As expected, the motifs are colorful and cheery, and the variety of styles means that there's a floral pattern for every need. Knowledge of cross-stitch is assumed--this is predominantly a pattern book--but there is a two-page introduction to the basics. VERDICT: The variety of floral motifs makes this book an excellent value for cross-stitch collections.” --Library Journal
