Adventurous needleworkers will welcome this special treatment of the art of embroidering with the soft cotton yarn known as candlewicking. The unusual designs, which you can apply to 27 different practical and beautiful projects, work well in a variety of settings, from tea cosies and cushion covers to decorative mini-quilts and banners, and from a needle book to a matching baby bag and wool blanket. All the completed projects appear in full-page, full-color photos, while each meticulous step comes fully illustrated with a stitch guide, time-saver tips, and charts. To make your projects even more original and personal, try the special sections that make the most of threads, beads, buttons, ties, tea-dyed fabrics and cords.
