Great for Holiday Stitching
I liked the patterns in this book.My favorites were the Pilgrim Figures, Scarecrow Centerpiece, Pumpkin Garland, Santa Door Decoration, Bargello Fireplace Match Holder.The matching wall hangings and tissue holders for each season is a very festive idea, although, I have to admit most of these types of pattern books have an abundance of tissue holders.At least there is a theme for these.I think the only thing that I did not particularly care for is the layout of the book. I prefer that the patterns follow each picture.In this book all the pictures are listed for each season and then the patterns follow.I find this harder to follow because you have to flip back and forth to find what you are interested in.The contents are sectioned by the seasons which is good.I do recommend this book for anyone who likes to do this type of thing and especially if you like stitching for the holidays. ...

401 Plastic Canvas Ittty Bitties
Item as advertised and in excellent shape. Was mailed on time and in good condition.

Super patterns, BUT:
As you can see from the images of the front and back covers of this book, the patterns are wonderful. There are separate sections for holidays from Christmas to Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, etc, Baby items, quilt block.
The problem is with the book itself. It is a hard cover book but with a spiral binding underneath. The spiral is not really big enough around to allow the pages to turn properly. My book just arrived, brand new, yesterday, and when you try to turn the pages, they stick together in the center. Some of the places where the pages are placed on the spiral tear when you try to turn the page. I will add an image to illustrate what I mean. But if you buy this book and intend to do a lot of the patterns, you might want to scan and print the pages you are going to be working on, ONLY for your own use, though. And just to protect the book from damage. ... Read more
