I am a beginner to this type of embroidery although I do many different types of embroidery. I think this is an excellant book for those of us that have not been familiar with Mountmellick Embroidery. It gives the history of this form of needlework along with great illiustrations. Gives list of supplies needed as well as what fabric and threads to use. It starts with a smaller simpler project with pattern. Each pattern you would choose would gradually get a little tougher. Quite a few patterns as well as instructions for the fringe. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to get started with Mountmellick Embroidery.

This is a wonderful mountmellick embroidery patterned book. I have enjoyed doing all the stitches and have made some beautiful designs. Easily explained and directions are easy to follow. You do need embroidery experience to use these patterns. I loved it!!

I love the detail in this book. As a newcomer to embroidery I hesitate to start a project unless the instructions are clear and easily understood and this book delivers. The illustrations are wonderful, too, as are the projects. I'd recommend this book without hesitation to anyone interested in learning Mountmellick embroidery.

This is a beautifully illustrated book with great instructions. It my be beyond my skills as a beginner, but I was happy to add this to my embroidery book collection as it really broadened my thinking.
