  4. Nice ties!

    The graphics from the book are simply begging to be embroidered. Picking which one first would be challenge.

  7. Fantastic!

    I agree with Mum in Bloom; those totally need to be framed. I'd be willing to bet that there's an entire market for the original publishers to make these types of things available as prints. I know I'd buy.
