Learn all there is to know about silk ribbon stitches, crazy-quilt stitches, composite stitches, and even left-handed stitches. Compact enough to fit in your work basket, the book is spiral bound-leaving your hands free to work.Silk ribbon embroidery utilizes many of the same stitches as more traditional crewel embroidery, but the unique qualities of the ribbon make for a very different look. This beautiful book (conveniently spiral bound to lie flat when working) offers a comprehensive stitch guide and good coverage of all the basics. Each stitch is given a clear diagram, and many also include color photos of a detail featuring that stitch. In addition, Judith Baker Montano presents charming descriptions of what inspired her lovely, elaborate finished pieces, which she calls “free-form stitchery.”

Beautiful book and in beautiful condition Beautiful book and in beautiful condition. I have done some crazy quilting and I love it. I made a crazy quilt robe for a Santa I sculpted. I used some of my grandmother’s crochet lace, pieces from my wedding dress, my daughter’s wedding dress(which I hand beaded the entire dress-took a year), and other momentous. That is the fun part of crazy quilting. I’m going to crazy quilt approx ten Christmas stockings which will be fun and I plan to use a lot of the stitches in this book. Fantastic…
Well done I have several books by this author. Each book has clearly illustrated stitch instructions. I have the distinct pleasure of knowing a student she has personally mentored. I am excited to extend my needle craft skills with this book
