  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Asian-inspired lampshades embellished with flying fish. Canvas sneakers decorated with pink and white swirls. A pretty pillow adorned with a sleeping bunny, sweetly curled up. All it takes to create these appealing projects&amp;#8212;or add charming embroidered touches in no time at all&amp;#8212;are a few simple stitches, some easy techniques, and the nearly 30 projects in this book. Begin by learning several styles for outlining, filling, decorating, and appliqu&#233;. Find out about floss, fancy threads, fabrics, and needles. Get the scoop on hoops, and the lowdown on transferring your very own designs onto every type of fabric. The fresh ideas, witty patterns, and clever color illustrations take stitchers from novice to accomplished in a blink of the eye!&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Adult nonfiction; embroidery/sewing. Another embroidery primer that encourages modern girls to take up this lost art.

    <body><![CDATA[I've been embroidering for years, but I still was able to pick up some ideas from this book (like using crayons to color in designs). I think its a good reference for both amateurs and skilled embroiderers. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought the project ideas in this book were only so-so (sew, sew?), but, if I were a beginner, I probably would have given the stitching diagrams 5 stars - these are some of the best stitch diagrams I've seen!<br/><br/>Overall, I'm glad I received this as a gift, because I like Aimee's aesthetic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11092677">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A great book for embroidery inspiration; however, I don't think I'll make many of the projects. Great, easy-to-follow directions for stitches.<br/><br/>The cutest embroidered things in the book don't have instructions - the gnome in the stitching instruction pages, the cat-thing at the end of the bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26608015">more...</a>]]></body>
