Reviews

Primitive, folk-style stitching is on the up. Harking back to a time when slow stitching was the norm, this book presents 12 imaginative designs to embrace your inner soul. Imperfect is ok, it is the message, the look, the handmade that is inspirational. Create dolls, quilts, wall hangings, cushions, runners in wool, appliquéd and hand embroidered in stitches from your soul. Quirky characters abound. Find out how to make and use a stain for dolls. Beautifully photographed, but this is not just a book to look at, though that will give you a great deal of pleasure, it's a book to inspire your own creations. There is a pattern sheet at the back of the book.
