Title: Beautiful, heirloom-quality projects
Review: I bought this book specifically to stitch the set of six "Byzantine Christmas Ornaments," and, as always, Ms. Wentzler has put together a wonderful book of high-quality cross stitch projects. Each of these patterns is ornate, embellished, and beautiful! I will be making the "Christmas Wreath" this year, because it looks too gorgeous not to try.This book should be a must-have for every serious needle artist. Teresa Wentzler's work is miles above any other designer.The only reason I am giving this book only four stars, though, is because for projects as intricate as these, color patterns would really be helpful. The patterns get a bit busy in black-and-white, and if my twenty-seven-year-old eyes get tired trying to sort through tiny grids of monochrome symbols, I can only imagine how much more difficult it might be for some other avid cross stitchers.
