ARC Craft Book Review:

I was so excited to get this book, and I’m even more excited that it’s really good! I’m not disappointed at all (well maybe a little, because my book came with some damage on the bottom corner from delivery), and the projects aren’t just for embroidery hoops. There are projects for hats, jackets, tops, etc. There’s a wide variation of styles jam packed in this book, and my first project is Theresa Wensing’s ‘Daisies’ design, because daisies are my favorite flower! The instructions are very clear and understandable- plus I’m learning some new techniques!
