 Very approximate drawing December 8, 2008
It's true that there are many different motifs in the book but the drawings are very approximate, without even respecting the symmetry and the geometry of the objects.
 4000 new ideas! June 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm an avid embroiderer, always looking for the perfect design to embellish a cardigan or pillowtop. McCallum's collection offers plenty of ideas and serves as a springboard for some of my own. I imagine this would be an equally essential tool for many other types of hobbyists. This one is nice just to leaf through, too -- it's very well arranged. I'm tempted to order his other books right away, but there's plenty to work with right here.

My wife asked for this for her birthday. She absolutely loves it. So much so that we recently purchased 7 more as gifts for her friends in different crafting groups. She insists that 4000 Flower and Plant Motifs has inspired her with tons of quilting/craft ideas. This book is a great gift.

I love this book for the quilting designs it inspires. If you're stuck for ideas, open McCallum's book and start drawing.

I have a collection of books on designs and historical motifs. This is one of the most useful. I'm using it to create designs for decorating pottery.
