Y'all know when you fall so madly in beloved with a trend that you want to plaster everything you lot ain with information technology?
(Oh come on at present, I've seen yous guys with your chevron, burlap, subway art, mustaches. . .)

Well my newest "kick" is embroidery. The problem is that I have been trying and then hard to restrain myself from stitching EVERYTHING, that I ended upward stitching nothing at all! (How dumb is that!?)

Today'south book is one of the reasons that I take fallen head over heels. I am ashamed to acknowledge it, but I have been monopolizing this book for over two months now. That is how much I love it! (If you get to my library and have been waiting for it's return, I really am sorry!) I should only go buy a copy, but oasis't had fourth dimension.

A Rainbow of Stitches:

Embroidery and Cross-run up Nuts

plus more k motifs and 80 projects

past

Anges Delage-Calvet

The photography is beautiful.

The projects are stunning.

and

The patterns are simple.

Everything about this book is ADORABLE!

[All Images From the Book]

As the title suggests, the patterns are broken down into color sections, but yous

could alter them to whatsoever matches the projection you are working on.

My personal favorites are the lace patterns, and if you scroll up to my header, you'll see how I incorporated one of them into my weblog design. Yup! That "digi-lace" every bit I similar to call information technology, was inspired by a pattern in this very book! So, even if you aren't then handy with a needle and thread, in that location are other ways to use the images. I happen to know a paper-crafter or two who would observe the Paris set of patterns perfect for making cards and decorations.

You are definitely going to see things from this book popping up on my blog in the near time to come. I know quite a few pieces in Reli's fall wardrobe that are gonna need a niggling "special something" and I recall you know what that'll be. So keep an eye out.

This volume is without a doubt a☆☆☆(out of 3) star recipient. I can't wait to permanently add together it to my volume shelf! (Skillful news for my fellow library patrons! lol)

Happy Reading!
