Drawn Thread Embroidery by Patricia Bage, softback published by Search Press. ISBN 978-1-84448-242-9, price 8.99 from www.searchpress.com

If ever a book could persuade me to try drawn thread embroidery – this is it. Temptation indeed. I’m already searching the net for the materials. Patricia tells you all you need to know to create exquisite embroideries in this technique that has a reputation of being somewhat difficult.

A good how-to-guide with all the techniques clearly explained and photographed, ways of embellishing work with embroidery stitches and great projects too. I could not ask for more.
