Color, design and symbolism beautifully defined
As a textile collector and as an individual interested in anthropology I found this book full of invaluable insights. A good, clear read, excellent pictures and wonderful research makes this book an excellent reference. If you aren't intensely interested in the history of cultures and their expression in textiles this is not the book for you. If you are interested in such things: I highly ...

You've gotta get this!!!
This book is breathtakingly beautiful. It is exceedingly difficult to find any information on the bullfighter's costume. This book doesn't just tell about the work that goes into the design and construction like most other references on the shelf. The photos are so rich in detail and color that just to study one picture leaves one as satisfied as if having read an entire novel on the art. I ...

What's new in 1999 from England.
Probably the most difficult thing about this new method is learning how to translate from the Queen's English to North American English. One of the primary items used in this technique is hessian. Hessian is burlap! English sheeting is bed sheets, the high quality 180 count sort. The technique is applied embroidery. Various parts are made separately and then attached to a painted background. ...

Excellent resource
Not only does this book provide an elegant alphabet to embroider, it's a great resource for other projects. The author effectively renders letters entirely in small flowers, and by studying these patterns it is possible to generate your own patterns based on the same floral components. I've really enjoyed this book - both for the patterns 'as is' as well as for learning the techniques these ...

Tame title, wild book!
The author has developed or refined unique techniques for introducing depth and texture in contemporary embroidery. The book whets one's appetite with the use of real rose petals and goes on to illustriate shadow work, beading, textured stitches, applique (including burnt edge), fabric printing, cross stitch, canvas work, machine embroidery and more, if you can believe it. It is by no means ...

Oh bliss!
Anyone who loves to do hand embroidery will love this book. It is a feast of form and colour, using the most simple stitches. In fact, the one thing which characterises this kind of embroidery is that it shows what can be done with a very limited range of stitches, yet produce something stunning. It's the way the shapes and colours work that makes it so striking and is a lesson to those of us ...

This is a great book!
I have several books on making purses, but with this book you can make beautiful purses in little time and with supplies that are easily obtained. I especially like the sections where author explains how to make the fabric for the purses. I haven't tried one yet, but after reading the instructions, I am confident that once I do sit down to tackle a purse from this book, it will be an enjoyable ...

Beautiful study of birds
This book has several beautiful study of birds. The photographs of her own work are truly amazing. The bald eagle, in particular, looks totally alive with a malevolent glint in it's eye. I really loved the egret with wispy white feathers that seemed to be blowing in the wind. The book includes a generous example of Helen's own embroidery that are not part of the classes. These, I think, are ...

Recommended
This book is sectioned into the flowers you can make in the front, followed by a clear how-to for each type of stitch required to make the flowers in the back. Each flower gets its own page, which includes a picture of the result, a graphic of which stitches are used, and a chart of the common DMC/Anchor colors that are recommended. The difficulty level is somewhere between beginner and ...

great inspirations!
This is a wonderful book to get your creative juices flowing. It's not so much a pattern book as a book to give you ideas, and suggestions to create your own work of art. This is the best book on making purses that I have found. If you are looking for a book to take you through step by step directions, then this is not the book for you. But, if you are looking to be inspired, buy it!
