Needle Book – A Creative Embroidery KIT

.

A Little Needle Book – Summer’s Afternoon KIT

.

This little needle book is just too precious for words and it’s a keeper!
I have designed a lovely needlebook kit for you with detailed instructions and step-by-step photography that will guide you well and it's suitable for the beginner. It will be in e-book format so you can download it onto your computer or tablet. This way you will be able to zoom in on the photos to see close-up detail and if English is not your first language, you will be able to copy and paste paragraphs or sentences alongside the images into Google Translate.  The links that I provide for the stitches will also take you directly to the stitches gallery on my website.  Here is a screenshot of the step-by-step e-book that you will receive when we process your order.  Suitable for the complete beginner.

This is a lovely gift to make for yourself and for a special friend. The kit itself will make a lovely gift for a special embroidery friend.

The original artwork is by the talented artist, Kendra Binney from the US.
