This book contains over 54 cross stitch motifs, all on the theme of flowers. Inside there are pretty little floral garlands, bold poppies, sprigs of lavender, pansies, violas and flowering herbs. There are softly coloured roses and also bolder designs which have a contemporary feel to them, such as the colourful flowering cacti motifs in brightly coloured, decorated pots. You can stitch the motifs individually, or mix and match them to make up your own 'sampler' style design. The motifs are small and easy to stitch as they are made up of full cross stitches only and some backstitch outlining, for the detail. They can be stitched by beginners and more confident stitchers alike.

The world is littered with floral designs for decorative stitchers. If this book first appears to be yet another collection to add to the heap, browse again. Greenoff and Hawkins, both savvy authors and business owners, have twisted the convention of pattern-after-pattern-type explanation by showing designs worked in three or sometimes four different techniques. So a brilliantly colored fuchsia becomes a cross-stitch greetings card, a canvaswork pincushion, or a crewelwork picture. Directions for each project include graphs, a finished color photograph, sometimes lengthy written instructions, and, when appropriate, partly worked examples. Also featured are explanations of and patterns for a newly coined technique, 'woolworks,' a combination of simple crewel embroidery and needlepoint. - Barbara Jacobs--BL 04/01/1996.
