I am so excited to announce that I have a few signed copies of Krista West’s new book, Everyday Folk. Krista is an expert cross stitch embroidery designer and has a fascinating story in the book as to how she got started with folk embroidery designing. There are quite a few pillows, drawstring bags, table runners and wall hanging projects to choose from. In addition, there is a large selection of designs in the back to make your own project, 175 cross stitch embroidery designs in total.
Also available at Red Hen Books are the supply kits for a few of the projects in Everyday Folk as well as other Avlea Folk Embroidery kits. If you’re like me, you get inspired by beautiful projects in a book and then have to track down the supplies. Kits are great as you can just get started once the book and supplies arrive.
Even if you’re only a knitter, the design charts in Everyday Folk could be used to embroider little details onto your knits: necklines and cuffs of sweaters, edges of scarves and mittens…
I’m sure you will be inspired by Everyday Folk as much as I am!
