pickJane Bull is an experienced writer of crafting and activity books for children. This introductory book to embroidery, needlepoint, patchwork, appliqué, knitting and crochet is aimed at readers aged 7+ and is easy to follow with clear photographs and patterns to use. I came away feeling more confident with basic stitches and adult care-givers who are also looking to pick up these skills can do them alongside younger readers.
Today‘s lovely #booknlunch—the weather is beautiful!
I loved this book! Not especially deep but a sweet story.
#LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks another Cross-stitch project which I found a frame for. What do you think?
so-soPoints for presentation. These kinds of books always have amazing photographs. I think my recent marathon of mending books is skewing my perspective. There are helpful nuggets but it's the disconnect between the title and subtitle: there are visible mending techniques and projects introduced, but there are also a number that are just creation/decoration. Lovely making by hand, but not my first choice as a mending reference.
I finally finished it. This is a project I do while cooking supper. You know the waiting for potatoes or rice time when you shouldn't leave the kitchen? So, working a few minutes at a time, I finished it. @Catsandbooks #LitsyCrafters
I cross stitched these pictures on the Cross Stitch World app.
