Publisher's Synopsis
A simple stitch can empower us and make us be creative and in this stunning book, from renown designer Mandy Shaw you will find a giddying array of projects, sentiments and designs that you can mix and match to create irresistible stitcheries that speak 1000 words. Inside you will find 10 complete projects which include a bag, wall hangings, cushion, hoopies, Mandy's signature hanging hearts and a stunning Say it with a Stitch centrepiece quilt.
Using the detailed step-by-step instructions and full size patterns and templates (there is no fiddling with the photocopier needed here, you can just trace straight from the page) you can create all these projects just as you see them in the book. But the really clever thing twist is that it also includes over 40 additional sentiments, designs, borders, templates and alphabets so you can get creative and design your own totally unique artefacts. Whether these are for yourself or made as gifts, the power of simple words will allow everything you make to have a powerful connection with a memory or a feeling.
There is also a useful technical section and stitch library so to help you along the way so all you need is some fabric, thread, a needle and imagination and you are away!
