Reviews for Hand-Stitched Oasis: Embroider Realistic Elements; Step-by-Step Guide with 35 Techniques

Most quilters enjoy some hand-stitching, either on other projects or combined with quilting. This ""Step-by-Step Guide with 35 Techniques"" provides a beautiful collection of hand-stitching ideas for embroidering plants and flowers and other realistic elements. A picture is worth a thousand words but looks even more when it comes alive through creative embroidery. From the back garden to a sandy beach, Theresa Lawson shares her secrets to skilfully creating embroidered outdoor spaces. Begin with a lesson on creating a design from memory or a photo, then ease into the meditative movement of slow stitching scenes in a forest, home, lake, desert, or garden. Your ""happy place"" may be a place you wish to create in embroidery or somewhere you go in your mind while stitching these lovely designs. The pattern library in this book provides ideas for many projects. Advice on designing your own picture is easy to follow. All techniques are clearly explained from starting out to finishing methods to best display your wonderful works of art. Annette Mira-Bateman-- ""Online Quilt Magazine""
