A must have for every stitcher, from beginners to old pro's,
By "wolf_lover13" (Talladega, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Donna Kooler's 555 Country X-Stitch (Hardcover)
This was the first book that I have bought for cross stitch, and I don't think I could have picked a better choice. I am relatively a new stitcher (been doing it for a year), and love all the patterns in Kooler's book. It seems like every time I look through it I see a pattern I didn't see before. I find the book great for designing my own patterns by using a lot of the smaller patterns together. The Noah's Ark patterns in here are so vibrant, and you have a choice of two different ones. I really love how big and easy the patterns are to see, with others I have to have them blown up. This book gives you so much, you could decorate your whole house, by using the many different patterns. I also like how the chapters are color coded, this makes it really fast finding a particular chapter. The finished samples are exquisite. I can't really begin to do justice to this book, but I do hope my review will help others in there decision. Right now I am waiting on her "555 Cross Stitch Patterns for the Young at Heart" to arrive. I am looking forward to eventually collecting all of Kooler's other books. Happy Stitching!!!

Bright and Cheery,
This review is from: Donna Kooler's 555 Country X-Stitch (Hardcover)
I love this book. It's so bright and cheery, that it makes me smile every time I browse through it. I think it has the cutest table of contents I've ever seen! The "ground fabric" (i.e. paper color) of each chapter is color coded. For example, all the "Celebrations" pages are green; the "Favorite Things" are red, etc. Charts are in color, most without symbols. If more than one shade of a color is used in the same chart, the chart has colors with limited symbols. Designs are charted for DMC floss. Color photos of some of the motifs is shown at the beginning of each chapter, but not all motifs have a color photo. My favorite things about this book are Donna's creative alphabets. She does some of the best and cutest alphabets I've ever seen. My least favorite thing about this book is the colored charts without symbols. I find them hard to work with. This book is a great source of inspiration for small, quick projects, or combined motifs for a modern-day sampler.
