About this title

Synopsis

Provides step-by-step instructions for stencilling on pillows, quilts, decorative bags, kitchen linens, and bathroom accessories for home decorations and gifts

Review

Stitch & Stencil proposes an intriguing approach: embellish stenciled designs on fabric with embroidery to achieve attractive home accessories that unite two seemingly unrelated yet very complementary crafts. The predominantly floral designs have a delicate, old-fashioned quality well suited to the cushions, curtains, bags, tablecloths, and pillowcase featured in the 35 step-by-step projects. There are complete templates for all the stencils and a stitch library explaining all the necessary embroidery stitches. Although none of the projects are terribly difficult, a number of the stencil designs require a deft hand to cut out the intricate details. --Amy Handy
