Review

“If you have ever wanted to monogram anything—linen for a bride, a teddy bear for a baby, a special greeting card—here is a book filled with ideas and projects.” —MyShelf.com

“This book is well laid out and gives clear instructions for the method of work which is useful for both beginners and the more experienced embroiderer.” —West Country Embroiderer’s

Offering 26 gorgeous monograms in ribbon embroidery and the instructions for applying them to quilts, toys, journals, cards, and home decor pieces, each step-by-step demonstration in this manual instructs crafters on basic techniques, accompanied by easy-to-follow diagrams and close-up photography that promotes minute details.

In this highly versatile guide, each letter is beautifully reproduced in watercolor and clear instructions for transferring the painted designs onto fabric are included. Numerous designs—from embroidered cards, plaques, and boxes to journals and baby clothes—offer crafters an almost limitless scope for creating personalized gifts for baby showers, birthdays, wedding parties, and anniversaries.

Enjoy!
