Needlework From Nature by Deborah Ann Murphy
The title of this book interested me. I recognized the name of the co-author, Beth Robertson. She is the co-author, with Suzanne Howren, of many very good needlepoint books including the 3 books in the Stitches For Effect series and Stitches To Go.
The book begins with a basic * Getting Started* page and then goes right into Knots.
There are 21 Knot Stitches or variations of Knot Stitches. Each suggested stitch comes with very clear Instructions and a line drawing showing you the exact process of making the stitch.
Sometimes,if needed, there are pictures of the needles needed or any special technique for this particular stitch.
There are *helpful Hints* throughout the book as well.
!8 Fur Stitches. The instructions, details & hints are set up in the same way in this chapter.
The last section of Knots, Fur & Turkey Work is Turkey Work (of course).
The section begins with some hints on "executing Turkey Work".
There are 7 stitches (or techniques) here finishing up with Punch Needle Turkey Work.
There is a bibliography and a complete Index.
KNots, Fur & Turkey Work is copyrighted by Artistic Illusions in 2005. It does not give a print date but the 2nd page says this book is a 1st Edition.
It is a new glossy cover paperbound book with heavy paper pages and a metal spiral binding.
