I really like the patterns in this book. The designs range from simple patterns that could be used as suncatchers to more elaborate designs with over 100 cuts a lot of which are concave. Some patterns would look best with jewels and seemed to be designed for them.Some of the patterns presented are just variations of one another. So, there aren't quite as many patterns as the product descrption might imply. However, there was a lot of variety packed into this book.I feel like this book was a good value.

As with all Mr. Sibbett's books, the images translate well to computer application when scanned. Most designs are two to a page with three on some pages. There is a nice range of complexity in the designs from simple to very detailed. Some designs too are scaled to produce items where the image needs to be large, for instance when you would want the image of only one or two flowers on the side of a box.

I really love this book because I love nature and flower layouts. I actually bought this book for the flower patterns for mosaics rather than stained glass for ideas and to understand how to better divide the flower appropriately. I would definitely recommended it if you like flowers.

All Ed Sibbert books are subtitled 'Designs for Workable Projects'. This is so true - there are no impossible cuts. The patterns in this book are very simple. Non are complicated although most have many pieces. Each flower design is offered in several variations: in a circle, a square, a rectangle.

These are so beautiful and ary clearly well designed for hand glass cutting and foiling. This is definitely one of my keepers.

I've been painting trivets on ceramic tile and this book has given me many wonderful ideas. They resize very well.

very nice, great pictures. This is a nice book that has lots of birds and flowers and can be used to make nice window pictures.

Wonderful patterns for some very lovely quilts or stained glass. You could mix and match flowers and come up with your own arrangements.
