Silk Ribbon Embroidery for Beginners

This book uses very simple stitches to maximum effect. I am a silk ribbon embroidery addict and love the designs in it. Sheena Cable also has some unique ideas as to where to put all your designs. Aside from the more predictable pillows and wall hangings, she suggests hats, tablecloths, napkins, curtain valances and tie-backs. All the stitches are simple, but she uses a few not found in many other books. The pictures are all in color and you can see the embroidery clearly. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The book follows a natural progression from easy to more challenging projects. All in all a great beginner book.
