Sadly, i can only cross stitch, my embroidery skills is very limited (lets leave the description at 'limited' LOL)
If I were to start a thread on crafts books review, would you want to join in ? Just make a post (or as many posts) with a pic of the cover of the book you actually have hard copy of (like this lovely Tiny Gardens), and share why you like it, and what you wished can be improved/added etc.
