DescriptionDid you think embroidery was complicated, confined to flowers and a major undertaking? This cute, crazy and clever little book will dispel those myths and inspire you to take up a needle and thread even if it's for the first time ever. Fiona Goble is well qualified to write this book as she set herself the task of producing a little embroidery for every day of the year for her blog stitchaday. The book is divided into activities: eating, sleeping, working, relaxing, playing, dressing, bathing and celebrating and there are four or five items and motifs within each section. The embroideries are shown on items made from plain cotton (calico type), felt and wool (think old cream blanket type of wool). While all the motifs are shown on pale or very pale pastel backgrounds, colour is introduced in the form of colourful fabric borders, trimmings, etc. For each motif, there is also a 'Would also work well on...' heading with suggestions for further uses of the little embroidered designs. Author descriptionFiona Goble set up a small textile business making woollen bags, cushions and throws. She regularly contributes to a number of craft magazines and partworks and is the author of two bestsellers, Fleecie Pets and Fleecie Dolls, also published by New Holland. She is currently completing her third book, Make a Monster, in her inimitable style. She lives in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. |
