The book has arrived

So my "Essentail Stitch Guides - Canvaswork" has arrived.

It doesn't have the range of stitches that the older books have but the colour photos are so much better.  There is an image of a sampler that has been worked for each stitch.  (I love how this is stitched in one colour.)

And although there isn't the number of different stitches there is plenty here.  The illustrations and instructions are clear.  And they include a line drawing and a picture of the stitched out sample.  Each one of these has a line of the pattern in another colour, great to show contrast.

And then there are illustrations of what you could do for inspiration.

I really like this book.  Well worth the wait.

Thank you but maybe I’m just hyperactive?

I wasn’t sure I would like it after reading Mary Corbett’s review but I think that review carried a lot of cultural bias.
