great for embroidery.......2007-01-25

Very useful for my simple goldwork embroidery designs. Some need enlargement and others need to remove some of the lines not needed for goldwork. Could also work with crewel embroidery although I haven't done that yet.

very simple.......2001-03-22

This book can be a very helpful one if you're looking for simple designs.It is a sample of flower motifs mostly english and french from the 19th century and some oriental motifs as well.It is all black and white patterns and it looks a lot like a coloring book.It is an OK book if you're starting with the idea but very simple if you want to go indepth.I would recommend it if you're interested in crafts in general and also if you work with kids.

Beautiful Designs!.......2007-09-06

This book is just full of gorgeous decorative monograms and floral motifs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for inspiration in the lost art of embroidered monograms such as what you'd find on beautiful linens and items found in antique shops and flea markets.

Treasury of Floral Designs and Initials for Artists and Craftspeople.......2007-04-05

I was excited when I discovered this book and I knew I had to have this for my library. I am a calligrapher and I am always looking for designs that will enhance my work. I was not at all disappointed when my package arrived! The work is very detailed and the book has plenty to offer. not to mention the embellishments are just to die for!!! The script/lettering is fantastic and it was well worth the investment. I know this book will never be found on the shelf or coffee table because it will be well used and always on my work table. Just sign me as "ONE HAPPY CALLIGRAPHER"!!!

Inspiration for Embroidery.......2006-10-05

This book had TONS of inspiration for embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. Lots of monograms and designs that can be adapted easily. I use it all the time! I've also noticed a few Anna Griffin designs seem to be inspired from this book as well!

Book Description

FTD, the largest floral company in the world, combines the fundamentals of floral design and care with the basic elements of interior design to offer all flower lovers (and that's everyone) the knowledge, inspiration, and confidence to live happily ever after with flowers.

Flowers are as much a part of our daily existence as holidays and the changing seasons. Flowers signal and celebrate all the major and minor events in our lives: in the home, flowers are as essential a decorating element as window treatments or floor coverings. But although everyone loves flowers, not everyone knows how to live with flowers-how to buy them, care for them, or display them. In Flower Style, home design and lifestyle author Pat Ross presents the fundamentals of choosing, arranging, and extending the life of flowers in your home. Whether you buy your flowers from a florist or a grocer or pick them in your yard, Flower Style shows how and where to place them for every season, occasion, and room of the house. Flower Style is the only flower book you'll need.

Book Description

Charming florals or cool abstract patterns? White-on-white or a splash of brilliant color? Just like clothes make the man, fabric makes the furniture. House Beautiful understands that, and so the editors are letting sofas, chairs, settees, ottomans, lampshades, and more put on a “fashion show.” As in the magazine feature, witness how furniture can be completely transformed using several different fabrics. The magazine’s experts explain exactly how the choice of color and pattern affects the furniture’s appearance. For example, stripes on a sofa highlight the couch’s shape and give it a contemporary flair, while a floral pattern de-emphasizes the form and adds traditional country charm. A range of styles are included. Details on fabric content, technical terms, decorating pitfalls, and upholstering tips make this the ideal reference.
