Crewel & Surface Embroidery: Inspirational Floral Designs (Milner Craft Series)

I have done a lot of cross-stitch and found that it was no longer challenging. I have always admired embroidery but never in a million years thought that I would be able to do it. I bought this book on the other recommendations and it has been a god-send.I started off with a 'Poppy' design by Anchor designed for beginners and I've impressed myself. The progress is slower than with cross-stitch but then the stitches are different, closer together and the work is meant to be made to a higher standard. I am now on to my second project and it is already much better.Please don't look at the front of the book and think that you can't do it - you can, you just need confidence and this book!

What a beautiful book, a pleasure to browse! I do not know yet if it is clear to work with or if I can possibly get the materials but I sure like the presentation and the enticing illustrations.

Beautiful projects, theory well explained / detailed instructions. Patterns provided including yarn/thread colours. Beautifully illustrated throughout and would highly recommend. A shame not to get a copy for yourself.

A little disappointed with this book and the complicated means of it being returned to the retailer, all a bit confusing and inconvenient for me to be able to return as I am disabled and cannot get out to send the book back, I am therefore having to keep it in the hope that I can give it to someone else who will take more pleasure in it.

Very pleased with the book and the service.

Beautiful, pictures, projects are all stunning, a lovely book.

Must have book for traditional crewel embroiderers
