I've lost count of how many times I've picked this up, more like looked at it than read it? I was just gazing at it. It's beautiful, and filled with my favorite motifs, and I thought about trying it many times, but I never got around to embroidery. I'm selling it because it's starting to take up too much space on my bookshelf at home. I handled it with care, but it does show signs of use. Please check the photos.
