This very pretty project book is ideal for bead embroiderers..even if you are just a beginner.

It has a good pictorial guide to the stitches and each colourful design is simple but beautifully effective.

It explains the techniques used, which makes each project very easy and ensures a professional finish and a wearable or usable item. There are 125 stitches, but ribbon and buttons are also used to embellish the designs.

The author is a master of her craft, she has definitely inspired me to have a go. The instructions are simple and the layout for each method is easy to follow. There is a skill level guide, so you can start easy and progress through the book as your confidence grows.

I loved the bracelets, they are very Boho in style, and also very stylish.

Beading Embroidery can be used to decorate bags, make cushions, trim quilts and so much more. The pictures that are included are simply stunning. fabulous pieces of art that look absolutely amazing.

This is a beautiful book that I love and will use for gifts and ideas.
