My Two Cents:
Goodreads Rating: 4 Stars
An excellent resource of historical patterns from Denmark. With an introduction full of helpful information, this collection of patterns will give a lot of inspiration for future projects. The flowers are based on common wildflowers for the most part and each pattern includes the scientific name and a bit of information as well as a thread list, an area to write down any substitutions you make or notes you'd like to take. These patterns can be used for more than just cross stitch and would be lovely adorning a knitted sweater or needlepointed project. The back of the book allows for a personal message for any future generations who may inherit the book and continue the tradition. I read this book through Net Galley.
To Sum Up: A wonderful resource for historical patterns from Denmark
