Mary Norden's Decorative Embroidery (Finnish: Kaunista kirjomalla) has pretty fine theory part to guide how to make some embroidery stitches. Unfortunately the designs are not very spectacular. The book has 40 designs which are mostly small and simple but there are over 144 pages. In this book Mary Norden has been perhaps a bit too informative considering the theme "Decorative Embroidery". You expect to get many decorative designs from a books titled like this with over 144 pages. Instead you get a small disappointment. This could be good for a beginner who has no basic skill on any kind of sewing but the other ones... save your money for something else.
