Embroidery Companion: Classic Designs for Modern Living
For Alicia Paulson, embroidery is so much more than simply pulling needle and thread through cloth. It’s a way to let loose the imagination, elevate everyday materials by decorating them with fanciful designs, and perhaps most of all, to enjoy the quiet reflection resulting from embroidery’s unique textures, vibrant colors, and gentle rhythms.

This book is written by one of my favorite bloggers. The picture she paints of her life on her blog is something similar to the life I see for myself, and I love her creativity. I have purchased several sampler kits from her and love every single one.
The projects in this book are simple and lovely. I would like to incorporate some of this traditional style into the simple things that make a house a home.
Definitely a book that I will buy a copy of.

I was disappointed in this book. Not sure what I was expecting. The photographs are beautiful, but the designs themselves, while lovely, aren't things I can see myself making. The book is in three sections: regular embroidery, counted cross stitch, and crewel embroidery.
When the subtitle said "Classic Designs for Modern Living," I was expecting something a little more... modern. The designs are lovely but just too country-kitcheny for my tastes.
This book has a few cute designs and lots of helpful tips. It also includes counted cross stitch and crewelwork.
Currently working my way through the projects in the wonderful, inspiring book.
This was lovely to look at, and though I wouldn't make all of the projects presented, it was a good resource for a beginner like me. I'll probably come back to this in the future.
Cute book... maybe a little to cute for my taste. I will probably make a few things out of this one if I have some spare time.
