Format:Spiral-bound
The contents of this book are rather disappointing. The drawings used to illustrate the diagrams are poor. Although the embroidery appears to be very skilled, and I am no expert, it does not have the breadth of vision to inspire one.
Useful as a point of reference.

Another Little Gem from Judith Montano
11 Jan 2001
Format:Spiral-bound
If you have come to expect the best from Judith Montano's books, you will not be disappointed by her latest offering. It is full of ideas for floral stitchery.
There are plenty of new designs in this book. If you already own several of Judith's books you will not see a lot of repitition of previously published designs. New stitches and new combinations of old favorites are plentiful.
My favorite sections are the Free Form Embroidery samples and the Crazy Quilt Combinations. Every crazy quilter is on the lookout for new ideas for seam decorations and the outline drawings are very simple to follow.
Floral alphabets, painted backgrounds and ribbon embroidery stitches are also covered in their own sections.
Try this book--you will not be disappointed!

Not for the beginner
16 Feb 2001
Format:Spiral-bound
This is a good book for creative inspiration, but beginners should be aware that it is not intended for floss embroiderers with no ribbon embroidery experience.
Some of the directions assume knowledge of basic stitches, and often the directions do not explain how to 'end' a stitch or series of stitches.
Do buy this book if you would like to be inspired to begin ribbon embroidery or if have experience and you need new ideas: the pictures are wonderful! And if you already have some knowledge of basic ribbon stitches, you'll be well on your way to new ideas and projects.

This is an excellent book. It provides you with many choices of stitched flowers both in silk ribbon and threads and yarns. FOr those who admire the intricate stitching and motifs that are original to crazy quilting this book will set you well on your way to adding many of interesting stitched florals to your blocks. It is a well done book, very good instructions , easy to understand and truly inspirational. I have read many cq books and find this the best one.

This book is well suited to the beginner and the experienced stitcher who wants to add new techniques and ideas to your quilted pieces.
