The Craft Companion: A Companion to Modern Crafting

Description

Review

‘The chapters go over the craft’s evolution, inspiring artists, as well as projects for the home and those to get the kids involved in too. It’s the ultimate guide for handy creative types.’–Smallish

‘[The Craft Companion]… is the new book you need on your shelf.’ –PaperCrafter

‘Unlike most books of this type, which can be dated in approach, The Craft Companion’s strength is its selection of contemporary craft work…It’s not often that a generalist book can give a specialist title a run for its money but this puts many current embroidery titles to shame in terms of its scope and presentation.’ –Embroidery magazine

‘…practical and lively guide to 33 crafting techniques, with hundreds of appealing projects with which to hone your newfound skills.’ –Crafts
