This is a beautiful book filled with Tula Pink images brought to life through embroidery. The title is something I wouldn't mind just displaying on a coffee table because of the beauty and artistry of the designs. As for function, this book does an amazing job of explaining and providing direction for the various stitches used. Even someone new to embroidery could gain confidence to complete one of the design projects. All aspects are covered and the instructions, pictures, and outlines are clear enough to follow. This would make a great addition to the embroidery crafter's library.

A beautiful book! The images are stunning in their layout, and the various complexity required to make them. Some images would be good for a beginner, while others require more skill to make. Luckily, there is an extensive stitch guide at the beginning that either teaches or refreshes you on how to make the needed stitches, and a guide for each design on how to use which stitch where. The book comes with a cd of the patterns for easy printing out and transferring. According to the intro, the patterns are based on an interpretation of a colouring book, which I would consider buying just based on the designs already featured. If you're looking for something interesting to embroider and only have a few stitches in your repertoire, these are patterns you can tackle and build your skill as you work your way through the book. Highly recommend!

Tula Pink does it once again as she offers her wonderful illustrations to craft lovers everywhere, this time though hand embroidery. This beautifully photographed book offers tips and tools for beginner and advanced embroiders alike to achieve the best results for their projects. A basic stich guide provides a colorful reference for many of the stitches used to create the samples in the book. Filled with seventeen whimsical designs, including flora and fauna from some of her most popular and beloved fabric lines, will allow you to channel your creativity through color and texture. A must have for any craft lovers library.
