*East Kent Embroiderers’ Guild*
This very pretty project book is ideal for bead embroiderers..even
if you are just a beginner. It has a good pictorial guide to the
stitches and each colourful design is simple but beautifully
effective. It explains the techniques used, which makes each
project very easy and ensures a professional finish and a wearable
or usable item. There are 125 stitches, but ribbon and buttons are
also used to embellish the designs. The author is a master of her
craft, she has definitely inspired me to have a go. The
instructions are simple and the layout for each method is easy to
follow. There is a skill level guide, so you can start easy and
progress through the book as your confidence grows. I loved the
bracelets, they are very Boho in style, and also very stylish.
Beading Embroidery can be used to decorate bags, make cushions,
trim quilts and so much more. The pictures that are included are
simply stunning. fabulous pieces of art that look absolutely
amazing. This is a beautiful book that I love and will use for
gifts and ideas.
