  Make your embroidery glitter! Just take yarns of different colors, put them all through the needle at once, and overlay the work with gold thread. Choose and blend colors effectively, work with strong hues, and shift colors as you embroider. Dozens of novel stitches will entice you; use them to make a range of shapes from triangles to octagons. Stitch greeting cards; an embroidered desk set; a notebook cover; a frame; a clock, tray and mirror set; and so many other shimmering, decorative items. 176 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.
