Working any of them will help master the main techniques of Jenny McWhinney’s form of thread painting. This gorgeous full colour book will delight any embroiderer who sees it and will be a must-have for her many fans.

About The Author After a wonderful childhood of travelling the world with her family, Jenny McWhinney settled in Australia. The inspiration for her embroidery is from nature itself and her early needlework projects involved simple stitches, really just 'colouring in' with threads, the creatures she had drawn. From there, she progressed to using a greater variety of stitches and threads, achieving a more sophisticated effect with stitch direction and colour, creating her now signature style. Her work is instantly identifiable and she has a strong following thanks to her many magazine articles published in Australia and internationally.

The flexibility of whitework with colour has opened the door to a whole new world of possibilities. There are no limits to the subjects one can stitch, and readers will find nestled among the pages a wide variety of projects which will entice them to stitch. There are seventeen projects in the book, ranging from complete beginner to more advanced. No special skills are required but a little practice will go a long way in helping stitchers to master the technique.|Trish believes colour is the key to any successful piece of embroidery so has used quite unusual colour combinations and stitched some of the projects in more than one colourway to show how different the same design can look when stitched in other shades.

Wonder can be found everywhere, in the simplest of places and in many of the activities we undertake every day – you just need to know how and where to look. And, of course, wonder is amplified tenfold when you head outdoors. The outdoors is where imagination and discovery collide in the most spectacular fashion. Mother Nature's secrets are just begging to be discovered and, what's more, she is a brilliant, patient teacher and children willing students. Everything outdoors is full of wonder.|This book lists some ideas on how to encourage children to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic in the mundance and enchantment in the everyday. All the activities, either indoor or outside, are simple and inexpensive, and rely mostly on the ready imagination of children. If readers are guided by their knowledge of their own child, together they can find a little wonder in everything they do.|

About The Author

I N FO R M A TI O N

Corner-to-corner crochet is a terrific technique. It allows you to begin in the corner of a crochet project, typically a crochet blanket or afghan square, and work towards the other corner in a way that produces a finished project that looks like a textured, layered version of the classic granny square. It's a unique technique but it builds upon basic crochet skills so it's very easy to learn. By following a pixel graph instead of a written pattern, you can incorporate virtually any character or image you want into a crochet blanket. This great book includes how-to instructions and step-by-step photos for 5 throws. All designs are made using #4 worsted-weight yarn.

Sarah Zimmerman is a self-taught crocheter who picked up her first hook shortly after her second child was born. Wanting to make fun hats for her kids, she watched online videos and followed book tutorials, learning to crochet quickly and unleashing a hidden talent she never knew she had! She decided to take her hobby and passion for crochet to the next level and started writing her own patterns. A graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in visual arts and a graphic designer by trade, Sarah has an eye for design and color that is reflected in her crochet projects. Sarah s craft and crochet blog, Repeat Crafter Me, is full of new and unique patterns that are trendy and seasonal. It also has easy to follow tutorials and detailed step-by-step photos.|
