Editorial Reviews

"This fabulous book arrived in the mail recently, and kudos to @westcoastcrafty! Ideal for beginners, but also helpful for experienced stitchers like me who are self-taught. Susan covers all the essentials about tools and techniques in clear, well-illustrated text, and with dozens of creative project ideas for embroidery and patchwork. A must-have for any library!"
