I read this in preparation for Bob Frissell's Flower of Life workshop. I read his other books as well. I was able to focus on the class, knowing that I could review from the book.

This CD is a beautiful reflection on the Art of Flower Arranging.  Thch Nhat Hanh overs a glimpse into the spiritual nature of flower arranging and suggests that as we create beautiful arrangements we are arranging ourselves. This is a great resource for both people who arrange flowers and people who love flower arrangements.

This book is well titled. The important part to me is the clear flower and insect patterns which are divided among the four seasons. The photographs of the completed work are lovely, and clear enough to see the original stitches.  The directions to replicate the work are clear and complete. It is important to me that the directions also include the DMC thread numbers so that if the directions are followed the work actually looks like the photographs. OK. my needlework is not that as exquisite as Kazuko Aoki's but at least the shape and colors are true to the photographs.  Directions for each stitch are also given in bold and easy stages.

I embroidered a row of delicate flowers along a pillowcase for my pre-teen granddaughter and she loves it. I practice on pillow cases just above the border because I hate to practice on scraps and then toss it. This time I may have to place a row of the delicate flowers along several  plain white cases because every kid in the family wants one. I am so happy to find this book. It is different from the color drenched Elizabethan things I've been
doing.

This book is perfect for beginners and for the really experienced.

Flowers for all the colours you may imagine. I have got already several books and booklets as well as ebooks. Colouring this one will be nice to do. I got it for free in order to tell my true opinion about it in this review. The different motifs will give an idea for everyone what can be done with them ;-)

Great patterns!  I've already used several patterns, and find the instructions and diagrams simple to use.  This is a wonderful resource for anyone who likes to transfer their love of flowers and gardening into flowers that bloom all year!

Part of working the program is literature - the twelve steps and traditions book is wonderful - practical and very helpful.  I listen to a step workshop on CD that you can get from glennkaudio.com named Lila R. - her workshop is based from this book.

I saw a great DIY project on pinterest for aisle decorations that were boas and flowers.  I had to get that for my wedding.  This was a great inexpensive way to go and once the wedding is over they double as props for the photobooth!

There were lots of great paper-pieced flowers in pots!  I liked it! The colors have a European flair.  I liked her layouts.
