Review by Library Journal Review

Most embroidery books focus on only one technique or type of embroidery, but textile artist and teacher Kendrick covers a variety in surprising detail. Following a comprehensive introduction to the basics of embellishing with needle and thread, Kendrick devotes one section to each individual technique, including crewel, Hardanger, stump work, and canvas work. Thirty projects, both practical and decorative, provide practice in each technique, and a full-color stitch dictionary allows novices to compare their work with the examples. Embroidery hasn't been trendy for a while, and it's due for a comeback-this collection will keep you ahead of the curve. (c) Copyright 2010.
