Description:

Inspired by the work of highly skilled embroiderers in The World of Embroidery magazine, the magazine's editor has produced a book "aimed at embroiderers who would like to make something rather more personal than they are offered in kit form, but who lack confidence in their ability to design and carry out a finished piece of work without help." The outcome is an appealing group of eight projects with full step-by-step instructions: bags, book covers, two cushion designs, a quilted jacket, a wall hanging, flowerpot covers, and a variety of cords, tassels, and buttons. Combining embroidery (hand and machine) with fabric-painting techniques, the items also serve as samplers, providing ideas for practicing the various techniques detailed here. --Amy Handy
