great contemporary resource! submitted by nsvinicki on July 24, 2018, 10:18am Embroidery has been having a moment in internet fame, so it's great to see a contemporary take on beginner books that are more accessible to current times and interests. The directions and guides were easy to follow, and the pictures are really well done. The projects are easy and fun, and she covers a surprising number of styles in this one book! This isn't your grandma's embroidery anymore!
