Another gorgeous reference book!,
By Natalie Dawn (Southern CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A-Z of Stumpwork (A-Z Needlework 09) (Paperback)
In my humble opinion this is one of the best books on stumpwork on the market! But if you are familiar with the A-Z series of books this wont surprise you. Amazing detailed pictures of each step with crystal clear instructions and sumptous projects! The only drawback I found was its lack of any figures. It's flowers, berries, mushrooms and animals. If you are just starting out in stumpwork I would recommended this book with Kay Dennis' book "Beginner's Guide to Stumpwork". Plenty of wonderful projects to keep you busy for quite a while!

Country Bumpkin never disappoints!,

This review is from: A-Z of Stumpwork (A-Z Needlework 09) (Paperback)
This is almost two books in one: the first half is a superb, thorough instructional manual of stumpwork embroidery techniques; the second half, a detailed collection of stumpwork projects from designers which have been featured in Inspirations magazine, arguably the most prestigious embroidery publication in the world. You really get the A to Z!
Despite the carefully photographed, step-by-step technique section, I would rate A-Z of Stumpwork as a book for the intermediate stumper. True, it is published in a spiral-bound format, which in my opinion is invaluable for a working reference guide of any kind. But even experienced stitchers do forget stitches from time to time. And let us not overlook the elegant, gorgeous designs that are laid out for us to duplicate, designs from the likes of Anna Scott, Jan Kerton, Wendy Innes and Janet Luce. Their elaborate embroideries are given complete materials' lists and instructions, but not illustrated step by step. Everything in the A-Z series is so beautifully photographed, so carefully organized and detailed, and so charmingly illustrated with whimsical prints and retro-Victorian artwork, that of course I have to award A-Z of Stumpwork five stars. I recommend that a beginner get a copy of Kay Dennis' Beginner's Guide to Stumpwork to get started and this lovely A-Z reference to use and keep for a lifetime of usefulness and inspiration. -Andrea, aka Merribelle

Wonderful Stumpwork Tutorial..,

This review is from: A-Z of Stumpwork (A-Z Needlework 09) (Paperback)
If you're looking for a great tutorial on Stumpwork Embroidery, this is the book for you. The written instructions are very clear, with great pictorials showing you exactly how a particular technique is done and supposed to look like. I am a beginner in the technique of stumpwork and found this book to be an invaluable help to me. I would highly recommend this book if you're interested in doing Stumpwork Embroidery.
