Bullions Equal Embroidery Motifs

Mary Corbet takes us inside the A-Z Book of Bullions, which has been renamed the "A-Z of Embroidered Motfs" by the new owner of the publications.  I think changing the name is a mistake but then I'm not a book publisher.  Regardless of what you think about the title, you'll enjoy peeking inside the book to decide if it is one you'd like to add to your stitching library.

Who doesn't want to know how to create a fishing frog anyway?   Seriously, take a look at his little fingers.  Wouldn't knowing how to do that come in handy on many a project?

A-Z Series Has New Owner

Most of us have seen--or at least heard of--the A-Z series of How To needlework books published in Australia by Country Bumpkin.  The rights to publish the series has been purchased by Search Press.  Mary Corbet talks about the changes in the series and what we can expect in the future from Search.  She also talks about the Royal School of Needlework's How To series and how the two sets of books compare.  Thanks once again, Mary!
