Customer Reviews

Exceptional , a must have

This book is not only exceptional in explaining the technique,it also contains beautiful color pictures of finished projects. Each stitch description is accompanied by a very clear, close up picture of the stitch. A valuable addition to the library of both the beginner or the more experienced artist. This book is definitely a great value and a must have for all ribbon embroidery enthusiasts!

Modern ideas

I loved this book because it included ideas on how to use silk embroidery in a modern way rather the victorian way. The works "Zane Gray Trail" and "The Desert Garden" are not in that fussy Victorian tradition.
