Had some really great instructional illustrations for 3-D stitching, but the included patterns were meh for me. I had no desire to do any of them, except maybe some of the floral stuff? But not in the format presented in the book.
obviously YMMV

4.5 Stars for me. I loved the presentation and techniques used within the patterns in this book!
The patterns were interesting (to me) and something I would do.

Extensive instructions, but not really patterns I would make.
