A fun book for Bob lovers!
It's pretty simple and so would probably make a good present for someone who is interested in cross stitch as a beginner or a novelty gift for someone who is in love with Bob Ross! There were some good phrases but unless you're super interested in Bob Ross, it's not a must have! It would've been cool to see some of the more BR famous paintings in here but it's nice enough.

Many thanks to netgalley and publishers for this free ARC in return for my honest review.

Bob Ross Cross Stitch: 12 Happy Little Cross Stitch Patterns - Includes: Embroidery Hoop, Floss, Fabric and Instruction Book with 12 Patterns! by Haley Pierson-Cox honors the beloved artist’s legacy with twelve patterns featuring Bob Ross's famous quotes and the materials needed to make 2 of the designs. It is currently scheduled fir release on August 30 2022.

Bob Ross brought happiness to millions with his oil painting program The Joy of Painting and continues to spread that joy to a new audience through YouTube, Amazon Prime, Tubi, re-runs on public television, and many, many others. His beautiful landscapes, calming presence, and wise quotes—“We don’t make mistakes. We just have happy accidents”—have become the hallmarks of his brand. This kit includes materials to make 2 designs, along with a 48-page, illustrated instruction book for 12 different patterns inspired by Ross’s quotes. In each kit, you’ll find 2 pieces of cross stitch fabric, a needle, embroidery floss, embroidery hoop, and the instruction book.

Bob Ross Cross Stitch: 12 Happy Little Cross Stitch Patterns - Includes: Embroidery Hoop, Floss, Fabric and Instruction Book with 12 Patterns! is a well written set of instructions for cross stitch in general, and getting started on these pattern. Since I was reading a digital galley I did not get the physical items that are included in the kit, so I did not get to jump right in and get started. However, I thought he introductory information and each of the patterns were well explained and easy to understand and follow. I loved the chosen quotes, and thought that the patterns were well designed for beginning cross stitchers and will help them gain confidence in the craft while creating something nice.

This is such a happy little cross stitch book. It's got very easy, beginner projects for new cross stitchers and quick, fun projects for the more advanced stitcher. The directions are clear. The designs are uplifting. I love it! With just a couple colors of thread, you can get stitching right away. Or, if you buy the physical version, it comes with a hoop and materials to complete 2 patterns. Just enough to get you hooked! ;D

This book is so cute!
This cross stitch guide book contains many different Bob Ross oriented designs to make, including grid patterns, written instructions, and a colour guide.
The patters are easy to follow for people who had experience cross stitching, although if you’re a beginner i’d be prepared to watch a few tutorials before jumping into this one!
This is a really fun little book that i’m definitely gonna be coming back to when i’m feeling crafty.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun book!

There are 12 patterns inspired by Bob Ross including quotes and images. The patterns are pretty big and have a variety of colors. There's also information in the book for those just beginning cross stitch. I wish there were more patterns and more information, but it's a nice find.

Heavy emphasis on painters/painting.
I was a little bummed there wasn't some more detailed patterns. Or something that mimicked his artwork. Or even just the cover image as a stitch pattern. That would have been so cool!
Fun, but not a must have. Would make a good gift for the right person.

This cross stitch book is very well-written, featuring patterns with Bob Ross sayings. They are very painter forward, featuring paint brushes, etc. But the patterns are cute and colorful, and easy to follow.

Very nice book on cross-stitching. The instructions and explanations are clear and well organized. The included patterns look very straightforward and easy for even a beginner to understand.

This may be my new favorite thing ever. I cannot wait to try all 12 of these! If you ever watched Bob Ross you will be able to “hear” these pictures. My only complaint is I want more!! So so fun!!!

Cute Bob Ross inspired cross stitch patterns. Most use only a handful of colors (I think the most colors I counted was 14, but most of them are only a few stitches each so you could likely use scrap pieces for some sections of these patterns).

The samples in the book are all about 5x5 inches though your sizes would vary depending on the size of cloth / stitches used.

I feel like the only really famous Bob Ross thing missing is a landscape, but at these smaller sizes, I suspect that would be tricky. Otherwise it’s just a really nice book of patterns. Easy enough for a beginner. A friend of mine recently told me she only used stamped cross stitch kits because counted is just too much work for her. I think these projects would be an ideal introduction to counted cross stitch for those looking to branch out beyond the stamped kits.

This is such a wonderful book for fans of Bob Ross or anyone who likes to stitch inspirational things. There are 12 individual cross stitch patterns included, as well as detailed instructions about how to stich the various types of stitches required, The patterns are in full color and easy to follow, and they also include a full color photo of the finished project for reference. My favorite pattern is the one that says "Anything we don't like we'll cover with a happy little tree." This is just so fun! Thank you for the early review copy.

This is a brilliant book! Who wouldn't want a cross stitch book dedicated to the legend that is Bob Ross?

This is exactly what it says on the tin. Great stuff!

Many thanks to Hayley Pierson-Cox, NetGalley, and Quattro Publishing Group for this copy.

There were 12 cute patterns with quotes from Bob Ross. It made me want to sew again! Very enjoyable book!

If you're a fan of Bob Ross and cross stitch, this book is an absolute delight. The cross stitch designs have Bob Ross sayings and the designs themselves are so cute. Cross stitchers will love this one! Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.

This is SO CUTE! I kind of hoped that at least one of the patterns would be more involved and a possible recreation of a Bob Ross painting but these are completely new designed created by Haley Pierson-Cox. It is a lot of 8-bit type characters and designs so they are very easy to cross stich. The physical copy will include materials to create at least two designs and that will be amazing! This collection will be perfect for beginners and experienced cross-stitcher's alike!

Cute cross stitch designs, each with a Bob Ross saying. They are too simple for me, but would be perfect for a total beginner. Author includes good directions and tips. I would’ve liked to see some designs without the quotes, or at least some with scenery and trees as the dominant feature.

If you're looking to take up cross-stitch or just want a fun one-off project of stitching, this a really cool book.
Bob Ross is a gem!

All the cross stitches were quotes by Bob Ross. Some of the colors used for the patterns were a bit too bright or the green was not what I expected.

I looked through them but wouldn't make any of these.

Thank you to NetGallley and becker& mayer! Publishing Group from the Quarto Group for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cutesy cross stitch designs celebrating the great Bob Ross? Absolutely, they're in here.

That this title comes with much of what you would need to create your own, is really fantastic. Gift this to any friends or worthy co-workers who adore Bob Ross.

Charming and adorable.

A lot of these paintbrushes looked like needles so I probably won't be making those. I do like the happy little trees one, so I'll probably do that one.
