DESCRIPTION:
I like the pegbag, my mother used to have one, and if you adjust the pattern slightly, it could be any sort of bag you want. Rebekah has chosen a limited, muted palette. Just think what a happier guy that squirrel would have been if he were rusty orange. I love the birds. There is a short guide to preparing wool and embroidery stitches at the back of the book. Included are 2 pages of pattern templates, these are double sided. Some of the photos are a tad on the dark side. Each of the 12 projects
Love the designs but the projectsnot so much I really like both the designs and the embroidery included in this book. However, I don't care for many of the projects because they are not useful for me. For example, a seed pocket wallhanging (to store your seed packets, of course), a clothes pin pouch to hang from your clothes line (dah), or a blanket carrier for picnics. Yes, I know, the designs themselves can be repurposed for something else, but get real, are these project REALLY useful?With my statement about the project. Smith has the most wonderful sense of color and style Rebekah L. Smith has the most wonderful sense of color and style. I love the way she lets the reader know what inspired each of the patterns presented. She offers many tips and alternate suggestions for making the project your own. Good resources for materials needed in the projects. Can't wait until Rebekah publishes her third book! Her books are the best in wool applique!. Five Stars Good patterns and instructions for each piece
