This 18 page booklet has all the basics for doing any project with creativity. It has directions with diagrams for all of the English alphabets. It features five holiday projects (Easter bunny, star spangled USA, spooky jack-o-lantern, Thanksgiving horn of plenty, and jolly Santa). Each project is featured with a full page pattern, full page color photo, directions with diagrams, and color selections suggested with a separate diagram. The back inside flap has directions with diagrams for 8 different stitches- tent stitch, gobelin stitch, padded satin stitch, cross stitch, mosaic stitch, French knot, back stitch, and overcast stitch. This can be very helpful for beginners.

This 'book' is 'over-sized' (8.75" X 11.75") and may not be handy to carry around, but full of very interesting, easy-to-do projects for novices and the experienced alike. ( )
