Margaret Boyles needs little introduction to needleworkers, who will be familiar with her previous books, among them The Margaret Boyles Book of Needle Art, Bargello, an Explosion in Colour and the Margaret Boyles Book of Crewel Embroidery. Like all her other books, this one is marked by the imple style and the clear and easy to follow instructions, by her useful and practical comments on the different techniques, and by the ease with which the most complicated needlework steps are described for you.
There are thirty designs, grouped by technique, including crewel embroidery, Bargello, trapunto, cross stitch, patchwork and quilting, candlewicking, stenciling and rug hooking. You could begin by choosing a technique you are familiar with and then try new ones. The range of techniques covered is so wide that you are bound to have months of fun experimenting.
Each design is accompanied by easy to follow instructions, a photograph of the completed project and clear diagrams. Large patterns for tracing are divided into sections, with each section occupying a full page so that you can trace straight from the book, a useful feature of all Margaret Boyles' books. A section of colour photographs illustrates exactly what the completed projects look like.
Even if you are a beginner you can easily pick up the skills you need from the Basic section, where each technique used in the book is described in detail. You can also learn how to choose the right kind of fabric for a particular design and how to create the most natural 'antique' look for country objects, and you will find clear instructions and photographs explaining all the stitches used in the projects.
Whether your intention is to make objects that will become tomorrow's heirlooms, give your home an authentic country look, or make a special present for someone, you will find this book perfect to create with, to give as a gift or simply to enjoy.
This 1986 first edition book is in very good condition. The 156 pages are clean and unmarked and the dust cover is complete with only a little rubbing to the top rear.
