Review on Mastering Realistic Beginner Landscapes in Art & Needlepoint: A Step-by-Step Stitching Guide by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Creative, original approach to the art of sewing

This book opens new doors by looking at sewing through the eyes of an artist. I was drawn in by the beautiful cover and was so happy to see that it combined my interest in embroidery and landscape painting. Not another "follow the dots" tutorial, this one starts with drawings and shows you how to enhance and personalize your designs with creative embroidery. Once you start thinking this way, you'll find yourself creating your own designs based on photos, the view out the window, or whatever you like.

Pros
  • Top marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
