Modern Projects From Traditional Stitches

Embroidery and textile art meet with Nicole Vogelsinger's colorful, bold Boho Embroidery style. The colors and textures that Nichole packs into her stunning textile art creations will inspire you to expand your creativity. The small size of the projects takes the intimidation out of experimenting with patterns and stitch combinations.

Nichole teaches you how to create 16 embroidery stitches. Then she sets you free to wander down your own creative path using her patterns and projects for guidance. Learn how o create simple hoops that feature just a single design, then move onto collage hoops with multiple elements. From there you can expand outside the hoop to wearable accessories and embellishments.

Throughout the book you'll be inspired to find your muse through thrift store finds such as retro tablecloths and feed sacks, and in the more typical places like on novelty fabric and in nature. The word becomes a celebration that you can capture with just bits of fabric, and without being confined to four walls. Grab a hoop, break out all of your favorite fabrics and threads, and explore your "boho" side!
