I saw this book in our store the other day, and liked it so much I bought
it. It is originally French. The designs are reallly simple motifs,
mongrams and a few alphabets and samplers, some cross stitch, some simple
surface embroidery, but they have a European sensibility to them which is
often quite sophisticated--or remind me a bit of some of the old Ondori
books with little spot motifs. The book is organized by colour, so there is
a chapter of green, which includes for example trees, one of red...
I look forward to doing some just for fun stitching with the book.

Very cute. After seeing Donna's purchases last week & this, I'm having a
"might have to buy some books" moment. Although, well, I did go to Borders
(with coupon) and buy a really good book on perspective for artists, and
some bargain technique kind of book.
Have fun!

That bears closer examination - wonder if I can get the library to buy it.
