Mary Thomas' knitting books and have wanted the embroidery books ever since I found that one in a charity shop. I love vintage / antique needlecraft books - I both collect them and use them extensively. This lovely project shows me I'm right to want this one!Juliehttp://whosgotthebutton.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-85165475654947958812012-01-18T15:54:56.203-06:002012-01-18T15:54:56.203-06:00I have the 1946 version and also her 2010 colour v...I have the 1946 version and also her 2010 colour version too.<br /><br />They are both used frequently, I have made a cover for my old one, as the cover was showing signs of where. <br /><br />Arlene<br />http://arlenes-crafts.blogspot.com/Arlene Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225398638294939827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-44206802644281182892012-01-18T13:58:51.140-06:002012-01-18T13:58:51.140-06:00I referred to the 1989 revised edition by Jan Eato...I referred to the 1989 revised edition by Jan Eaton of this book when completing this - as Caren has already said the tutorials are all in colour and very easy to follow. I got this book after it was recommended to me a few years back by my Embroidery Tutor (I was doing a City and Guilds Adult Education course). However, I was glad to get a hold of a reasonable priced second hand copy in a UK Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708656207705183194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-54360388541971992152012-01-18T11:38:44.636-06:002012-01-18T11:38:44.636-06:00Got her Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches when I w...Got her Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches when I was in middle school, in the '60s, and her Embroidery Book in high school, in the early '70s. They are and have always been my first go-to stitch reference. (Ditto her two knitting books). However they are dated. <br /><br />The stitch technique drawings are very clear, but the photos are hard to make out, especially in the later repro kbsalazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953310524063775372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-3873677031642541062012-01-18T11:32:40.967-06:002012-01-18T11:32:40.967-06:00I have heard that this is the end-all-be-all book ...I have heard that this is the end-all-be-all book of embroidery stitches.

I love that all of the tutorials are color coded to the photographs on the same page - so easy to follow. There is a huge section that I don't know that I will ever use, it is on canvas stitches, but that is because I don't do that type of handwork. I'm a beginner and most of what I do is on Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09447278255813307048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-58809125201668669422012-01-18T11:16:09.065-06:002012-01-18T11:16:09.065-06:00I have the updated one.

I like the book quite a bit. It doesn't have step-by-step pictures, though, so it's not for everyone. It requires (in my opinion) some familiarity with basic stitching. But I refer to it quite a bit. It's FULL of stitches.<br /><bramyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
