Ultimate Cross Stitch Projects: Colorful and Inspiring Designs from Maria Diaz (Design Originals) Sourcebook of Patterns with Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions and Clear, Easy-to-Follow Color Charts

This book is beautiful! A little too detailed for me but I have a friend that will love it and I’m giving it to her as a gift. She loves detailed cross stitch!

This was a gift to someone who enjoys cross-stitching but has been so busy w/family matters that hasn’t had time to relax & enjoy some self-care moments. This gave her new designs to try & a chance to re-focus.

The book seems hard. But, it contains many beautiful patterns which I will start on soon.

The patterns in this book are easy to follow and not too big. Maria is a great designer 😊

Beautiful book with some amazing projects. I can’t wait to start the Leonardo Da Vinci‘s La Scapigliata. I’m so happy I purchased this book.

Beautiful large full color pictures and project patterns in this book. Patterns are clear and look easy to follow. I can see that I will be stitching several of the projects in here making this book well worth the money. The only problem will be deciding which one to stitch first.

What I said in the headline

If you subscribe to Cross Stitch Collections and Cross Stitch gold you will recognize her wonderful patterns. I like the book because you don't have to sort through past editions of the magazine and they are in one spot. Love the larger color charts also
