EMBROIDERY POUR LE JARDINIER! Embroidery for the Gardener!
This delightful little craft book from French artist Sylvie Blondeau presents more than 100 projects to add nature motifs to all sorts of things used inside and outside the home. Through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and a wealth of illustrations, new and experienced crafters will learn twenty-one embroidery methods-des secrets de la broderie-so they can easily embroider every project in the book.
The charming motifs featured inside include things like strawberries, butterflies, chipmunks, and flowers. There are porcupines, cherries, pumpkins, and scarecrows. These lovely ideas can decorate all sorts of supplies, such as tool bags, seed bags, gloves, pot covers, and smocks. Gardening tools should be as colorful as the garden.
At a very affordable $15.99 this is the perfect impulse buy, present, and home decorating companion. It is part of a new Harper Design embroidery series and is dolled up in a petit and colourful package, with each project inside looking as if it has been hand-stitched directly into the book.
The ever-growing world of crafters-the mothers, grandmothers, and new generation of crafters on Etsy and Pinterest, the women personalising things for themselves and gifts for their loved ones-those books that they flock to are the most charming. No other embroidery book is as deliciously charming, as inspire et enchante, and as easy-to-follow as this one.
