BOOK THOUGHTS: A RAINBOW OF STITCHES


 I am sure I have not written reviews for “alllll” the books on stitches I have.Last year I purchased one of those embroidery books with a billion stitches to create and 999,999,999 of the stitches I cannot find a demonstration on how they are to be sewn. I have subscribed to quite a few embroidery channels on YouTube and downloaded a book from National Archives on embroidery, I was on Thriftbooks.com and saw: A RAINBOW OF STITCHES  by Agn
es Delage-Calvet, Anne Sohier-Fournel, Muriel Brunet, Francoise Ritz, Photographed by Frederic Lucano- Embroidery and Cross Stitch Basics, Plus More Than 1,000Motifs and 80 Projects, list price $24.99, copyright 2009 purchase price $9.39; with FREE shipping. 

MY THOUGHTS:

  • If you are a cross stitcher, and I have done a few, you will love it. 
  • As an embroiderer: there are lots of ideas and patterns to trace and create.
  • Looking for gift ideas, there are 80 wonderful suggestions.
  • Did I learn how to do a new embroidery stitch NO!

But the book is well worth the investment and I do not regret buying it. I like creating my own designs thus I classify it as inspirational, motivational and helpful.
