Description
- Like Mary Engelbreit's artwork, the patterns are brightly colored. The chart is easy to read.
- The Pattern Key is rather large due to the number of colors used, but it is easy to read.
- On the pattern key, the same symbols and colors are used for whole and half stitches.
- Colored lines are also used for back stitch, making it easy to determine which floss color is used for each motif.
- The designs are detailed and in bright, vivid colors, as typical of Mary Engelbreit artwork.
Guide Review - Mary's Minis - Mary Engelbreit Cross Stitch Design from Leisure Arts
Designs are colorful, as expected with Mary Engelbreit's artwork. The adaptation from artwork to needlework was done quite competently by Kathy Middleton Elrod.
