Learn new decorative and
textual stitches while creating these 12 whimsical yet practical
projects. In her Introduction Aneela says: "In this book, I offer basic
instructions for simple stitches, along with a generous selection of
original embroidery patterns, which are also printed on transfer paper
so you can easily iron them onto your fabric and stitch away". She goes
on to say: "I've also included twelve projects - from sewing accessories
like a pincushion and a needle case to whimsical but practical items
like a hot water bottle cover - that you can embroider and sew".

Reviews
Hoey
s name is familiar to many modern quilters she s one of the founders of
the popular Fat Quarterly e-zine, and her fabric lines for Moda blend
fairy-tale whimsy with cheery color palettes. In her first book, she
applies her charming aesthetic to a variety of small-scale embroidery
projects. After an introduction to basic embroidery stitches and their
uses, Hoey presents a variety of projects that combine small embroidered
designs with simple sewing. The motifs are interchangeable, and all are
included on reusable iron-on transfers. VERDICT Embroidery is gaining
in popularity, especially among younger crafters. Hoey s cute,
vintage-inspired approach will appeal to novice stitchers.--Howard J.
