As for embroidery books, I just started embroidery about a year-and-a-half ago, and my first book was 'Doodle Stitching'. It's sooo unfussy and approachable, it made learning really fun. The designs were simple, the stitch explanations straightforward. 'Little Stitches' has come out since, and again, I just love the simple designs, but this one has more sewing involved. It also has iron-on transfers, a bonus! Check out both and see which suits - then you might get the bug and want a proper stitch reference book, more serious studies, etc. Keep me posted and we can do some stitch-a-longs!

I have opened it at least three times, but finally I get a moment without children to read it and what a pleasure it has been, as always one must add. I have looked at this book so many times on Amazon and wondered and wondered whether I could justify it. The write up you have done is wonderful and you have again inspired me lovely lady, so I think it is time it goes on the wish list. I do however have a slight problem in that I am a beginner at embroidery, so as you have mentioned a few books what is your opinion in getting the most suitable book? I love the little key holder and desperately need a few around the house, just gorgeous and the bookends will make a wonderful gift, something else to add to the list. Now, I linked in your craft anxiety on my latest blog post, I really hope you don't mind. Please let me know if you do, so I remember not to do this again. Hope you are enjoying this glorious weather and get to spend many happy hours crafting outside xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-8758156980671023722013-07-09T08:45:02.028+01:002013-07-09T08:45:02.028+01:00What an adorable little project so pretty.
