I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Here Comes Christmas Give-Away 4: Stitch Dictionaries!

 

Amazon Books

Happy Friday, my friends! Welcome to Give-Away #4 in our Here Comes Christmas series of give-aways for 2024!

First, I’ll announce the randomly drawn winners of Wednesday’s give-away (the RSN Essential Stitch Guide for Crewelwork), and then I’ll tell you about today’s books and give you some give-away guidelines to follow.

Christmas Give-Away - Stitch Dictionaries

The winners from Monday’s give-away (the two crewel books) are Barbara Christine and Wanda (Wendie) Rader! Woohoo! I’ll be reaching out via email to both of you. Thanks to all for participating!

Stitch Dictionaries

Today’s give-away features two different books, courtesy again of Search Press North America. They’ll each go to a different randomly drawn winner.

The first book I’ll draw for is The Embroidery Stitch Bible. This is one of my absolute favorite stitch dictionaries. It’s really good! I love the layout of the book and the instructions. I like the clarity of the diagrams, I like the samples of the stitches, I like the various information about the stitches, including alternate names and so forth. I also like the way the stitches are categorized and the “visual” table of contents. It’s just a Great stitch dictionary to have on your shelf!

The second book I’ll draw for is a new book to the market. It’s the RSN Stitch Bank: 200 Essential Embroidery Stitches. This book is Massive – it’s a very heavy, large, hard back volume that’s a compilation of the diagrams and whatnot found in the Royal School of Needlework’s online stitch bank.
