Best Embroidery Patterns Ever!

If you have an interest in embroidery on paper, this book has the most beautiful patterns and a variety for all occasions and holidays. The finished embroidery designs are shown in color and the pattern instructions are easy to follow. The greeting cards you can make using these patterns will be most excellent!

Chock full of very nice designs

173 pages of nice designs. List of materials needed to create these wonders. A list of where these items could be obtained would have been helpful, however. Two pages consist of the 'how to's'. Very easy to learn. Many books are available by this author. Many, of which will end up in my inventory, I'm sure.

A GREAT Book for paper embroidery

This is my VERY favorite book for paper embroidery....it will work for the beginner up to an advanced project as there are about 160 pages of projects - a pricking template and a colored picture of a finished project. The pricking template will need to be photocopied, which is okay per the author. The hardest part is trying to decide which ones to stitch first!
