Myshelf.com:I hope you have a large coffee table for this big, beautiful book; you will certainly spend many a happy hour leafing through it as you sip your Java! Large, lush and lovely you will spend even more happy hours stitching the items charted and admiring them.Divided into four seasons, this book contains charts for a good number of needlepoint projects requiring those old favorites woolen yarn and canvas. Each project features a large, full color chart, key for threads, luscious photograph of the finished work and quite a bit of information about the subject. You can read all about the various flowers and some of the creatures shown, as well as quotations from poetry, hints for gardeners and more photos of a beautiful home where the items are displayed. The four samplers are shown ringed with flowers of the season which looks just wonderful. You don't need much embroidery know-how either to complete these projects, which are surely just the thing to relax with during long winter evenings. One of those books which is likely to remain a firm favorite - just beautiful, and easy to use too.

Format:Paperback
Mrs. Bradley's flowers book is lovely in all respects. She has included spectacular photos of the various works, and has also provided very good charts. Her designs are quite unique in their completeness and in their creativity. While she calls her designs 'antique,' I find that they are more classic than antique, and quite up-to-date in contemporary settings.
This is one of the most interesting books of its kind that I have seen, and I have read and studied many embroidery books. I recommend it to anyone interested in counted flower embroidery.

Format:Hardcover
I knew the book so my order was made with knowledge of the article. I am pleased with the product and also the prompt delivery from the seller. The book I chose was published several years ago and almost crosses over into a fine art book. I didn't think I would be able to get it anymore and had looked unsuccessfully in charity shops and finally found it on the world wide web!
