FROM THE PUBLISHER
Some of us take pride and pleasure in our needlework skills, while others of us have been drawn to sewing crafts but haven't been confident enough to try them. Happily, this book is a gold mine of instruction and inspiration for everyone, whatever your level of skill.
Whether the projects are simple or advanced, photographs, diagrams, and clear directions lead you to success. Watch an exquisite lace butterfly take shape between your fingers; embroider or applique a linen tablecloth for a wedding gift; or stitch a rainbow quilt to tuck in a child. The choices are endless. Working on a needlework project during our "down time" is as tranquil, cheering, and satisfying as a cup of tea before the fire. Creating a future family heirloom is priceless. With this book, you'll learn everything you'll need to know about the fulfilling pastime of working with needle and thread.
