"Improvisational hand-stitching lies at the heart of Krawczyk's collection of embroidery projects . . . The overall style is loose and free-wheeling." —Library Journal
Add new color and flair to your home with hand-stitching projects! Written by noted surface designer Lynn Krawczyk, The Hand-Stitched Surface offers inspiring techniques and beautiful projects for creating richly layered mixed-media surfaces on paper and fabric. It's a fast world we live in; it's important to remember to slow down and savor your handiwork, and hand-stitching is the perfect craft for that.
After Krawczyk gives you an overview of tools and supplies you'll be using, she will move you into a section on stitching essentials which covers a range of basic stitches and how they can be modified.
You will learn the following skills:
  • Mixing thread weights for textural effects
  • Unique ways to create patterns for hand stitching
  • Exploring color
  • Tips and tricks for improvisational stitching
  • And much more!

  • The fifteen keepsake-quality projects are perfect for the times when you feel you need to disconnect from the modern world and enjoy a quieter, more meditative hobby.
    "Delightful." —The Papercraft Post
