5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book, January 3, 2007

By 

Irish Rose (Bellingham WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Donna Dewberry's Machine Embroidery Flowers (Paperback)

This is a lovely book both for the beginner as well as the experienced machine embroiderer. It is not a large book, but nevertheless is chock full of information. There are great ideas for using the embroideries on the enclosed cd, as well as providing inspiration for substituting one's own favorite designs. I used the "Pansies" design in creating an envelope pillow for a friend, coordinating the thread colors with the pansy tapestry fabric used in the pillow body. It turned out absolutely beautiful - the design stitched out gorgeous - much nicer even than the illustration in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This review is from: Donna Dewberry's Machine Embroidery Flowers (Paperback)

This little book is packed with designs and ideas for machine embroidery all done with the tasteful art of Donna Dewberry.
From her signature Rose design to her butterflies, the designs(on the CD-Rom) stitch beautifully. Hardly any jump stitches.
The results are like looking at Donna's paintings.
Beautifully illustrated and with information about machine embroidery, this book is well worth it!!
