Joyful stitching : transform fabric with improvisational embroidery by Laura WasilowskiBook AnnotationThis book is an absolute delight! Don't let the small number of pages concern you. Every page is a feast for the eyes if you like bright colors, whimsical designs, and texture, texture, and more texture. "Free-form embroidery is not about being precise or meticulous. You have permission to be loose, relaxed, and cozy when stitching. Change the designs, use different colors, try new stitch combinations. Free-form embroideries are made just for the pleasure of stitching and the enjoyment of placing colorful thread on the fabric."Yes!!! Have a bit of a road map (the instructions are great), but stitch what you feel. Your stitching doesn't have to be perfect. That last is a big deal for me since I have to be very precise in much of what I do.The color illustrations are gorgeous, from supplies to stitch instructions and examples, to projects, to the inspirational pieces at the end. There are 21 simple stitches presented that create a lot of texture.
