Embroidery machines have captured the imagination of sewing enthusiasts everywhere, and now, Jeanine Twigg's second Companion Project Series book combines fleece-- the most in demand fabric-- with embroidery! Fleece offers the perfect canvas for embroidery creativity. Twigg has teamed up with industry expert Nancy Cornwall to present another exciting Fleece adventure.

Cornwell begins with the basics-- covering the "how tos" for machine embroidery success, and then she cleverly explores new territories as embroidery designs to create surface interest with a variety of techniques, such as trapunto effects, "embossing," applique, and terrific new ways to take advantage of embroidery and fleece to create surface texture.

Readers will learn how to use one design for a multitude of fleece embroidery techniques and how to create spectacular effects by using different elements of a motif.

Elegant Stitches : An Illustrated Stitch Guide
and Source Book of Inspiration
Silk ribbon embroidery utilizes many of the same stitches as more traditional crewel embroidery, but the unique qualities of the ribbon make for a very different look. This beautiful book (conveniently spiral bound to lie flat when working) offers a comprehensive stitch guide and good coverage of all the basics. Each stitch is given a clear diagram, and many also include color photos of a detail featuring that stitch. In addition, Judith Baker Montano presents charming descriptions of what inspired her lovely, elaborate finished pieces, which she calls "free-form stitchery."

Stumpwork Embroidery :
A Collection of Fruits, Flowers and Insects
for Contemporary Raised Embroidery
(Milner Craft Series)
Originated in the 17th century, stumpwork is a type of raised and padded embroidery that features a charming array of flowers, fruits, insects, animals, and sometimes people, all worked as delicate sculptural forms. The intricacy and detail evident in a fine piece of stumpwork is truly amazing. The sculptural quality makes this technique unique; more than just being raised off the surface in slight relief, many elements are almost fully dimensional. Fruits look ripe enough to pluck; petals and leaves seem almost to rustle in the breeze; bugs look like they've just lit on the branch. Be advised, however, that this is not a method for the timid crafter; although the book provides ample general instructions and careful analysis of individual elements before proceeding with specific projects, a good working knowledge of embroidery stitches is strongly advised. But the results are so absolutely delightful, you may want to practice honing your skills just to give this a try.

The Art of Silk Ribbon Embroidery
Well organized and filled with provocative examples, this lavishly illustrated guide explores silk ribbon embroidery, an element of crazy quilting, offering detailed explanations of 42 different stitches. 70 photos. 70 illustrations.
