delightful

I got this book a while ago and never get tired of perusing it. It gives all us stitchers with full walls a new avenue for displaying projects: go small! These tiny treasures vary from simple one-color silhouettes to complicated samplers and pictures. They could be made full-size, if you wanted, but the sheer leap from the routine is very appealing. Brenda Keyes is a talented author. It's never risky to get a book she's written. Nice book to buy.
