We have needlework in our home (completed by my mom), so many handmade baby clothes saved, blankets and more. They mean so much. I've never tried needlework, but am really getting the itch to give this a go.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993765545180922337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-1696349434432547632017-06-23T19:13:01.961-05:002017-06-23T19:13:01.961-05:00Reading this review makes me wish I had kept up wi...Reading this review makes me wish I had kept up with my early needlework interests. I love this kind of guidebook. I'll keep it in mind should I pick up my yarn and needles again.

So glad that you have such a helpful reference.

I was a complete novice. My mom tried to teach me and she helped me get through making the required apron in Home Economics in junior high, but sewing was always difficult for me.

If I still did needlework, I'd certainly add the book to my library now. Looks like not only a great reference but a great inspiration for those who are happiest with a crafting needle or hook in their hands!

You are right - if you do multiple crafts and there is a period of time between applying one of the techniques, there are little things (a certain stitch, etc.) that one tends to forget.
