Originally used during the late 17th century as a substitute for costly lace, hardanger continues to rise in popularity among needleworkers. Explore the possibilities of this unique form of needle art. Begin by choosing the right threads, needles, fabrics, hoops, beads, and other supplies. After mastering the stitches and techniques used, including needleweaving, buttonhole stitching, making eyelets, satin stitch, colonial knots, rosettes, and lacy edging, you're ready to choose from dozens of projects. Make a black currant pincushion, an exquisite shawl, a beautiful and useful embroiderer's box, a keepsake wedding cushion, a cheerful daisy greeting card, festive Christmas decorations, or a pretty flowered vest. Whether you've done needlework for years or are relatively new to the craft, you're sure to find hardanger to be an exciting addition to your stitching repertoire. Sally Milner 80 pages, 16 color illus., 30 b/w illus., 7 1/2 x 10.

This review is from: Decorative Designs For Hardanger (Milner Craft Series) (Paperback)
I just got my book today in the mail and I must say that I am very pleased with it. It's got some wonderful designs and lots of them too! Very easy to read charts and for first time people doing Hardanger, the author explains the different stiches very well. I definitely recommend this book for your Hardanger collection.

Decorative Designs in Hardanger,
This review is from: Decorative Designs For Hardanger (Milner Craft Series) (Paperback)
This is a must-have book for the needleworkers' bookshelf. Not only does the author explain hardanger in simple, illustrated steps, she also provides heirloom-style projects on which to practice new skills. If you are a competent cross-stitcher and are ready to try something a little more challenging, I highly recommend Marion's book as an introduction to many hours of contented stitching.
