Reviews

Amazon

This beautiful book for intermediate level embroiderers, is absolutely stunning.

There are nine projects, all designed with intricacy and so much detail.

What I loved about this book, was the in depth history of Chinese embroidery. It is both fascinating and interesting.

Margaret Lee is a skilled embroiderer, and she shares her knowledge in the form of photography and written instructions. Each stitch is carefully placed and the thread colours expertly chosen to give your design highlights and texture.

I find it amazing that as you build each layer of the designs, the birds, butterflies and flowers become a thing of beauty.

Every embroiderer will love this book. There is a lot of information about stitches, and how to get the best effects from your needlework. Every design is simply a work of art.
