How to Embroider Almost Everything by Wendi Gratz A Sourcebook of 500+ Modern Motifs + Easy Stitch Tutorials - Learn to Draw with Thread! This book has hundreds of ideas for anyone interested in embroidering something unique. Perhaps you want to decorate a pair of jeans or a dishtowel or a handkerchief or baby outfit. Simple line drawings are turned into interesting stitched creations that can embellish any fabric from stretchy to fine to heavy. This book took me back to times my mother would drive us to snow ski then sit in the lodge stitching fabric to pass the time and then later she and I embroidered a pair of bell bottom jeans and a work shirt with mushrooms, mice, flowers and more. Stitchery and handcrafts are not as often seen as they once were and this book could easily be used to teach young girls to stitch as part of a badge for scouts or just for fun on a rainy day. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
