"Author Emma Homent has been pioneering the rediscovery of all the incredible stitches in her popular #stitchmondays posts on Instagram. In this book, Emma shares her passion for this traditional craft in a fresh and contemporary way, with a desirable modern aesthetic for a new generation of needlepointers. You'll learn about the tools and materials needed, how to organize threads, and how to frame up your canvas for stitching. Over 100 stitches are demonstrated with both photos and diagrams, with 10 easy and accessible projects to help ease you into trying out some of the fancier stitches - including a glasses case, plant hanger, accessories, gifts and more. Emma also shares her guidance on what stitches are best for backgrounds, for filling large areas more quickly, and which are best for adding structure and interest." -- publisher's marketing
