Raves and Reviews
With a stitch library of over 100 stitches, this book is a vital tool for the embroiderers amongst us. The projects are also accompanied by many "Stash Idea Inspiration" ideas to suggest ways to use all those wonderful bits and bobs we've collected. Lace, buttons, trims and fabric are all used in beautiful ways. Doilies, hankies, embroidery threads and buttons - a whole chapter on Treasure Hunting will inspire many quilters to have a go at these projects. There are bookmarks, table runners, tea cozies, brooches, wall hangings and wearable art - even up-cycled Jello moulds. All are absolutely beautiful. This book is chock-full of ideas with all the instructions you need. Christen says: "May your creativity flow and your needles FLY!"
