A Wonderful Source Book,
This review is from: The Anchor Book of Counted Thread Embroidery Stitches (The Anchor Book Series) (Paperback)
This is a little gem of a book useful for many different needlework genres. The contents of the book are applicable to any counted thread needlework and many types are touched on. Hardanger, Hedebo, Holbein or Blackwork, and for the band sampler enthusiast--many examples of openwork stitches. Also included are finishing techniques for raw edges. All in Anchor's usual fine presentation-- clear pictures, accurate line diagrams and directions, and graphs in the back. A lot of referance book in a small package!
