Book Review – Free Spirit Stitching – 8 Vibrant and Colorful Stitching Adventures

January 17, 2020 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

If you’re into cross stitch and embroidery – the art of needlework in general – then Free Spirit Stitching is for you! Inspired by an informal Bohemian-style look, designer and free spirit Debra Valencia will take you on a retro stitching journey packed with paisleys, florals, and hand-drawn fonts. You’ll create a Love Nest Wall Hanging, Paisley Heart Pillow, Summer Love Tote Bag, and Chic & Cozy Clutch, among other fabulous designs. Take your creativity to the next level by adding more elements or stitching patterns onto other projects! So grab some colorful embroidery floss, pillow covers, waste canvas, and other fun supplies (Debra will fill you in), and go retro! Skill level ranges from Beginner to Intermediate, depending on project.

You can purchase this book here.
