I think any stitcher will love this book. It has you look at threads and fabrics in a new light and urges you to artistically and freely express yourself with needle and thread.
From the book jacket:
"This book demonstrates that considerable freedom of expression is possible in stitchery as in many other crafts and that the very individual and personal pieces of work can be produced without following set designs and patterns. Spontaneity, however, does not mean a complete rejection of method or form.
"This is not only an inspirational book with a large fund of ideas, but also gives thorough grounding in the materials and techniques needed to produce the best results."
Mostly black and white pics but there are a number of full color plates later in the book.
