A Collection of Beautiful Stitches
by Emie Bishop

A Collection of Beautiful Stitches by Emie Bishop of Cross 'N Patch includes 150 stitches and techniques, which are clearly illustrated and explained. The illustrations have been drawn in the simplest way possible. Anything not necessary to understanding the way the stitch works has been left out of the illustration. An understanding of one stitch can move you confidently through an unfamiliar combination. As you compare the stitch with other needlework instruction books, you will recognize that there are many variations to these stitches and that there is usually more than one way to complete a stitch accurately. Several of the stitches shown are Emie's originals that she developed for counted thread templates. The book is available in a notebook-sized, spiral bound, plastic-covered format for ease of use and durability.
