Susan Bates has been a favorite designer of mine for years. All of the designs have the quality that tells you it is by Susan Bates – very sweet and whimsical in style. There are eighteen flower designs in this book – some of which are smaller and easier to accomplish than others. I really appreciate the pillow designs – this is something I have seen more for needlepoint than for cross stitch, so I am looking forward to making the full set of these for my sewing/design room. This is a book for anyone from a beginner to advanced and I recommend it, though for a beginner I suggest that you start with some of the smaller projects and work your way through. Some of the larger designs are better suited for intermediate and up.
