Creating Your Own Beauty For Your Flower Embroidery

I adore Dragonflies. They are elegent, delicate, jewelry-like beings that sail over quiet ponds and flower beds. Jane Nicholas shows a way to create 3-D Dragonflies, in a variety of threads, etc., and place as lovely accents in your embroidered, crosstitch, tapestry, quilted, and silk flower gardens. Step-by-step, try making at least one and you will be making more of these gems. I loved making a delicate Dragonfly as a brooch for a charity auction.

You won't go wrong with this book!

This is a marvelous book. It covers everything you have ever wanted to know about dragonflies. There are loads of patterns for several different projects and the instructions for each are wonderful - very complete and detailed. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I brought this book for the pure interested in dragonflies. Not fully understanding that it was an book about embroidey. However this book , is not only very beautiful , but is well writtern as well. It's worth every penny ! If you never embroidey and love dragonflies, this book is a perfect start.I'm very pleased to have it for my collection.

Something Different

If you loved the first two Jane Nicholas books then you will be happy with this book. It has beautiful designs and patterns to make many different styles of Dragonflies and Damselflies. Some wings are detached and some are appliqued and they are all very realistic looking. It is a much smaller book than the first two but if you're looking for something a little different then this is a great book to add to your collection.

Stumpwork Dragonflies

this book has beautiful, realistic looking dragonflies shown that are handmade and exquisite. I was searching for a method to make dragonfly wings and this book is all that and more. Even if you never make any of these dragonflies, it is a book that is nice just to "have" for your collection. I highly recommend it.
