America's Best Cross-Stitch

I really haven't started any project in the book but the illustions in the book is beautiful. I am very glad I got it. I will be making lots of cushions and pillows using the patterns in the book.

I checked this book out of my local library, and it's actually pretty good. There are color photos of every finished pattern, and the charts (several in color) are very easy to follow. Most of the patterns can be stitched by beginner to intermediate stitchers and do not involve specialty stitches. There are some nice samplers, a really cool nautical alphabet design, and a cute alphabet pattern for children. The book is chock-full of patterns. There really should be something of interest to everyone in this book.
