beautiful eye candy, nonexistant instruction...
While I give this book three stars, the price is so low in the used seller offerings I would suggest it to those who love fabric art if for no other reason than eye candy alone.

gorgeous work
I love the author's loose free style and the photography of the embroidery is excellent, with many, many full-sized photos.
