The Art of Punch Needle Embroidery
by Marie Suarez
Punch needle embroidery is similar to rug hooking, whereby a strand of yarn or fabric is pushed through loose-weave fabric, making a 'loop'. Repeated several times, the loops squash together to create a stunning, dense, tactile piece of fabric. With needle punching, a special needle is used to make this process much easier and quicker, meaning you can create incredible textured designs with less know-how and in very little time at all

No matter the occasion-a casual alfresco dinner party or a backyard birthday party-there are recipes to complement and enhance any menu, from the creamed corn with chives and chiles to decadent duck-fat fries; from a simple green apple, cabbage, and caraway slaw to the bright lemony asparagus shavings with goat-milk-curd dressing. With this book in hand, sides will no longer be an after-thought, but an equal player alongside any barbecue or grilled meat, fish, and poultry"
