The Art of Elegant Hand Embroidery by Janice Vaine (Book)

This book looks wonderful. It is also enjoying some great reviews. I have taken the following description from the publisher's website. "Elegant and comprehensive reference book and DVD. Applique, embroidery, ribbon work, surface embroidery and unique fabric techniques illustrated with full-color photos and step-by-step instructions. Will inspire needle artists with embellishing techniques and 124 blocks on the DVD." This hardcover book will be a joy to own.
