Punchneedle Embroidery: 40 Folk Art Designs

Punchneedle Embroidery: 40 Folk Art Designs by Kemp, Barbara. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781579908898.

Punchneedle embroidery is back—and it still features the same quick and simple technique as before. But credit for its modern revival must go to today’s increasingly appealing designs, which result in charming works of miniature art. It’s easy to get started: all that’s needed are a punchneedle tool, embroidery hoop, fabric, floss, and the basics found here. Even beginners will soon be able to create exquisite projects that showcase timeless motifs, from flowers and crows to primitive stars. In addition to frameable punchneedle pieces, there are also a handful of wearable accents and a gallery of the authors’ works.
