A gem for embroiderers who like using their creativity more than following patterns. Brown does not only show many different stitches and techniques, but also, in the last chapter, beautiful photographs of the work of true needle artists. The feeling I get from this book is that I too, with a bit of practice and fantasy, can make such wonderful things. I reach for this book many times!

I'm a guy non-sewer, but I do have an eye for art, and no matter how good other embroidery books may be, this one is a must-have for the comprehensive portfolio section in the back alone. What embroiderer can have too many examples of master works to inspire the next project?

This book gives a good introduction to several different styles of embroidery. It cannot compare to the wonderful Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches but it comes in as a good second choice. Clear and easily understood instructions.

This is a beautiful book, full of inspiring finished projects and gorgeous photos. If you want to be inspired, get this book. If you want to learn new things - get this book! Not only does it show various stitch samples and how to stitch them, but it shows possibilities and techniques. I love this book for it's inspiration and what it teaches. Great for all levels of stitchers.

This book is a must have for all needleworker
