Beautiful, Colorful Designs

I absolutely love this book. There is a nice variety of colorful and beutiful designs in various sizes to complete. I did not like the foreign languages with them becuase they were not translated. That dissappointed me. I wouldn't mind stitching something in Persian on a Persian-styled piece, but I would like to be able to tell someone what it means, should they ask. The projects could be completed without the lettering. Overall, I am really enjoying this book. It is a nice sampling of needlework designs from the nationalities mentioned. My favorite designs from this book were the Persian and Indian designs. I would have liked to have seen a few more Turkish-styled pieces. There was only one, an eye-glass case design; but then again, Turkey wasn't mentioned in the title.
