I wish I could see well enough to follow the instructions and recreate these marvelous colorful birds. The instructions simplify the stitches and colors to the point where all you need are the materials and good lighting (and eyes that work better than mine). Absolutely fantastic! Get one for a friend and for your local library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster via NetGalley. Thank you!

As an embroider myself, I loved the book. I was thinking of doing a hoop embroidery for a long time, but was unsure about the techniques. The book serves as a complete guide for advanced embroiders. The author has illustrated every design with stitches used and thread colors with their numbers. Although, the patterns are focused on bird patterns, but still the book is wonderful. I, would love to give the book 5 stars.
