Summary: Elegant, extraordinary designs. Beautiful!
Comment: The designs in this book are mesmerizing. My jaw dropped when I got mine in the mail, I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were. The best part is that the patterns are large and easy to follow, and in full color. There are intricate patterns and simple patterns, some are lively and colorful and some are more muted. All of them are just amazing tributes to Celtic art. There are so many beautiful projects to choose from, and the motif library is a wonderful resource for your own projects you dream up. I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Not enough color and content
Comment: Much of Celtic art is very colorful, yet I found the examples in this book to often have only 3-5 real color variations. Most of the designs concentrated on crosses and swirls, and of the 75 designs listed, most of them are just small repeatable motifs. I was hoping for some actual Celtic Art reproductions pieces and a lot more big complete projects to do, rather than just ornamental designs. I was so disappointed with this book, knowing that I would never stitch anything from it, that I returned it.
The book does offer a brief history of Celtic art and each different type of design has an introduction explaining it's history. I did find this quite interesting.
Since tastes in stitching projects are so wide, this book may have exactly what you're looking for. I would just suggest you try to get a look at it first to be sure before ordering site unseen.
