I was disappointed that Amazon did not show any sample pages..but I bought it anyway..It sounded so cool.  I was disappointed because this wasn't my kind of cross stitch.  ost of the patterns are for what I call a 'cameo/blackwork' pattern.  Basically..all black (or whatever color you want it to be) My skill isn't to choose color changes to make a real looking wolf..that's why I follow a pattern.  If that's what you're looking for..get the book.  It is a very nice little book with some good instructions.

I really like the patterns in this.  It uses both cross stitch and intarsia type patterns in tunisian crochet. The patterns are beautifu.

I thought this was counted cross stitch which is what I prefer..So I gave the kit  as a gift, and she loves it.

I wish I had chosen a printed cross stitch instead of a counted one. Very intense work, but it will be beautiful when finished for our little princess.

The instructions are easy to read and clear cut. The pattern is in sections so it is very easy to read on the Kindle. I can't wait to start this project. I have been cross stitching for 35 years and this pattern is worth the price, quite a bargain.

I love this!  I've wanted Star Trek cross-stitch patterns for years!  The patterns are quite nice, and I'm really looking forward to stitching while I listen to my favorite episodes!  Thank you, John Lohman!

This lively collection of creatures from every corner of the globe is sure to enchant cross stitch enthusiasts. More than 60 colourful designs include charts and full instructions to help you decorate small items for the home.

  Jana Hauschild Lindberg, internationally respected as a cross stitch designer, has here assembled a delightful menagerie, from butterflies and birds to fishes, penguins and cuddly kittens. There are very simple designs, appropriate for the beginner, as well as more elaborate and detailed patterns. Some are taken from historical design sources, such as a rock engraving from the Sahara of men and cattle, an eighteenth-century Japanese screen showing wild geese, and a Babylonian lion mosaic from King Nebuchadnezzar's royal chamber. The designs come with project ideas, such as towel borders, cushions, egg-cosies and placemats. there is room for the familiar as well as the unusual -- goats, and hens mingle with a giant panda and exotic birds. Whether elegant or charming, there are plenty of animals for every interior!

  Each bright and attractive design can be used in a variety of ways, enlarged, reduced, or combined with decorations and borders from other designs in the book, and the projects in this collection are sure to provide fresh inspiration for cross stitchers who are fascinated by the animal kingdom and the world of nature.

My grand daughter enjoyed these projects. She had the most trouble with different shapes on one page - heart, star, circle etc.

I bought this for a coworker who is interested in getting into cross-stitching. It seems like it will be a great kit for a beginner. Since she likes cat, it was a hit.

This pattern is beautiful and unusual. It took me a bit to master the stitch but it was worth the effort. The instructions were thorough and understandable. There were pictures to guide the right minded step by step.
I am very pleased with my purchase.

It's a really nice cross stitch but its on black Aida cloth so it's hard to work on but it's an easy fix just put a white cloth or in the winter a white blanket and a light MUCH easier to see!

I really enjoyed going through all the different cross stitch patterns in this book. I was looking for something out of the normal stitching area and this book did just that!

Our granddaughter is enjoying making this needlepoint.  She is only 5 so isn't able to make the stitches all go the same way BUT she is proud of her work.

This is one of the most beautiful cross stitch patterns I've seen. It has a sister stitch, though I can't recall the name. Having both of them up in the hallways is a joy. It is an easy to follow pattern and style. This company always makes amazing stitches.

Very pretty designs.  Happy to add this book to my cross-stitch collection library.  Will use some designs in my future projects.
