    5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Cross Stitch is truly magical
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2009

    Several years ago I was injured and became unable to work. I filled my days with cross-stitch and is my habit went starting something, I surrounded myself with books and magazines on the subject, both from the bookstore and the library. Among those books was "Magical Cross Stitch"; a David and Charles publication of great beauty both as a book as wells as contents. The patterns range from a magnificent Sleeping Beauty to Chinese Dragons to a Rising Phoenix to a still life that could have come from the office of Dumbledore. Fairies, Mermaids, Sorceresses, Goddesses, and a Rainbow Pegasus fill the pages. I hope to stitch them all.

    Happy stitching to all and to all a good night.

    Just recently got back into cross stitch...I always buy the larger pattern books with lots to choose from. Quality! This collection is awesome :) I'm currently working on the Wizard Magic pattern and it looks great! Can't wait to try the rest! Lots of designs are represented and patterns can of course be broken down and only small parts used for specific projects. Shipped fast and good shape!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Designs are wonderful; not bound correctly
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022

    I really like the designs in this book, but was taken aback when I opened it and found that the very first page is page 21. It goes from page 21 to page 54, and then it has the title page. After carefully examining it, I found that it has all its pages; they are just out of order. So I decided to keep it as it is perfectly usable as is.

    Kindle Version - Charts are too blurry to follow. If you want to be able to actually do the cross stitch, buy the actual book.
