For those who are interested in counted cross stitch, Jackson's book gives photos of 33 designs, along with charts and thread colors used in the designs. Jackson also gives hints on how to get started for those who are new to counted cross stitch.The designs aren't really subversive, but the phrases used do show some spunky attitude. There are several that use the "f bomb." Here are some of the phrases that don't: "Irony is not dead," "Whatever," "You Can't Make Me." I made these two: "Bite Me" (requested by a brother-in-law) and "Life Sucks, Then You Die." If you desire to use a phrase with stronger language, chances are that you will find it in this book. If not, create your own, using the lettering guide at the back. The borders and design elements around the sayings are delightfully sweet, making for an interesting contrast.
