Very inspirational5
A gem for embroiderers who like using their creativity more than following patterns. Brown does not only show many different stitches and techniques, but also, in the last chapter, beautiful photographs of the work of true needle artists. The feeling I get from this book is that I too, with a bit of practice and fantasy, can make such wonderful things. I reach for this book many times!

Which stitch to use?4
This book gives a good introduction to several different styles of embroidery. It cannot compare to the wonderful Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches but it comes in as a good second choice. Clear and easily understood instructions.

Includes FORTY Pages (!!!!) of Fabulous Masterpieces....5

I'm a guy non-sewer, but I do have an eye for art, and no matter how good other embroidery books may be, this one is a must-have for the comprehensive portfolio section in the back alone. What embroiderer can have too many examples of master works to inspire the next project?
