This is a lovely little pattern book (that will be sold with a starter kit of supplies) that will be hit with experienced and beginner stitchers alike.
The introduction does a nice job of explaining the current crafting trends that reclaim the “womanly” arts in the name of progress. This will resonate with crafters who are often told that our hobby’s are “silly” or “frivolous” just because we code anything done by women as “not important.” (As opposed to how important golf is...I mean, don't even get me started.)
The instructional section provides a quick overview of how to get started with cross-stitch. While more in depth instruction might be desired by new stitchers, this will get you up and running with the craft. The addition of starter supplies when for commercial sale makes this a perfect grab-and-go way to jump into a hobby.
As for the patterns? They are a delight. All are manageable for beginners, but will also keep a seasoned-pro engaged. The patterns vary enough in style that there will be a good choice for an aesthetic.
