5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Inspiration, January 15, 2008

By	R. M. Rivera (Philadelphia,PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own many books and I have to say this one is by far my favorite. Many fiber artist and embroiderers will be drawn to this book, not only for the exquisite photography of Jane Hall's work, but also for her ability to express what inspires her. You will find that we all share the same inspirations and aspirations for our projects. I recommend this highly. Not a how-to book.

4.0 out of 5 stars very interesting, July 2, 2008

By	J. Smith (central IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoy this book but had hoped for more instructions than is given. She talks about the materials and techniques but would have liked to see an example with steps all the way through the process.
Beautiful ideas and results on Jane's embroidery!
