Helen Dafter is the author of many very good Silk Ribbon stitching book for the Milner Craft Series of Books from Australia including another book listed here on NewNeedlepoint.com, The Little Book of Silk Ribbon Flowers. Reading from the back cover, there are 12 major ribbon embroideries and associated smaller flower studies in Floral Interpretations for Silk Ribbon. The flowers are inspired by photographs taken by the author, Helen Dafter, over the years and by Watercolors of the flowers pain...
am always attracted to books about creating gorgeous flowers in needlepoint. I am sure that is my gardener's soul coming out. The stitched flowers on the cover of this book got my attention (and I am not that easily impressed).To quote (and paraphrase) from the back cover:"Eleven lovely flowers to embroider, including roses, hollyhocks, delphiniums, heartsease, violets, honeysuckle, English Daisies, geraniums, lady's ear drops, forget-me-nots, and sweet Alice.""Clear instructions are provided...
This is a gorgeous little book with some fine examples of stitched Ribbon Flowers. The book measures just 6 X 6.5 inches and the projects in it seem small, the size could easily be increased when they are stitched. The author, Helen Dafter, is the author of many other books in RibbonWork for the excellent Milner Series of Stitchery book published by Sally Milner in Australia. I list another of her books here, as well. The book includes complete direction to stitch, including threads & ribbons...
When I ordered this book, I did not know what it's specific contents were. I rarely know more then a short blurb from the publisher and a picture of the cover. The Simple Art of Ribbon Design is in some ways similar to the book The A-Z of Silk Ribbon Flowers I listed earlier today. Similar but different. There are Silk Ribbon Flower instructions here but the book goes a step further. It shows you how to use them in actual ways. You will find clear instruction on using your flowers as Ribbon F...
I had not seen any books by Christen Brown before but I will be on the look-out for them now. This is a very well done book about creating flowers from ribbon, using ribbon work techniques.
The subtitle for this book is
Beautiful Designs for Flowers, Leaves & More.
Quoting from the back cover:
"130 + exciting floral elements to sew from ribbon and lace"
"Mix and match petals, centers and greenery"
"Learn beginner-friendly construction tips from ribbonwork master Christen Brown"
"Step-b...
Another terrific book by well-known needlework author Judith Baker Montano. Silk Ribbon Embroidery is done in a slightly different way or format or something. It begins, of course, with the Table of Contents, which is impressive. There is a section on the background & history of the art. Then there is a section called *Profiles* where we are introduced to 12 women who use Silk Ribbon Embroidery in many different ways, in their needlework. The projects in this book are the work of these tale...
I have just found these excellent Ribbonwork books by Christen Brown. I was not familiar with this author but I will be watching for more of her books now. This is a terrific book.
The subtitle for this book is:
The Ultimate Visual Guide to 122 Flowers, Leaves and Embellishment Extras.
Quoting from the back cover:
"Learn to make 122 exquisite floral elements with ribbon using 7 basic knots and stitches"
"A complete compendium with ribbon styles, selection and care, cutting charts and t...
This is a new book from the excellent Milner Craft Series of books. With this title and the subtitle of
Silks, Stitches, Beads and Cords I think it will be in many categories. Quoting from the back cover
"An exciting collection of bright and beautiful collaged and embroidered pieces, Effie Mitrofanis shares with readers what can happen when a sense of playfulness is allowed to combine with creativity".
"The elements that tie this book together are beautifully coloured silkd, patterns of e...
This is an English language book published in Japan in 1995. This is not a beginner's book. The designs here are lovely but would require a stitcher of intermediate or advanced skill to do justice to them. This is a special book. Not just your usual designs. The patterns are all flowers, the designs are classic florals, there is not much Japanese design influence in them. There are single flowers, buds, sprays and bouquets. There are wonderfully stitched and very beautiful. The templates are...
This is a new book but I think it has been on the distributors shelves for some time now. It is clearly not used, the covers are fine with no edge wear and the spine is pristine but the inside cover pages appear somewhat darkened by age. The edges of each heavy weight paper page have a smilier appearance. This could be the way the printers meant them to look and I am too attuned to rare books and see the color as aged. I do know the book was published in 1997 and that is 18 years ago. At any...
