Creating Your Own Beauty For Your Flower Embroidery

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

I adore Dragonflies. They are elegent, delicate, jewelry-like beings that sail over quiet ponds and flower beds. Jane Nicholas shows a way to create 3-D Dragonflies, in a variety of threads, etc., and place as lovely accents in your embroidered, crosstitch, tapestry, quilted, and silk flower gardens. Step-by-step, try making at least one and you will be making more of these gems. I loved making a delicate Dragonfly as a brooch for a charity auction.

You won't go wrong with this book!

Something Different

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago

If you loved the first two Jane Nicholas books then you will be happy with this book. It has beautiful designs and patterns to make many different styles of Dragonflies and Damselflies. Some wings are detached and some are appliqued and they are all very realistic looking. It is a much smaller book than the first two but if you're looking for something a little different then this is a great book to add to your collection.
