A stitch glossary featuring more than 60 illustrated stitches makes this an excellent reference guide too. The exquisite embroidered designs showcase the author's phenomenal talent and will inspire the most reluctant needlework.

Bottoms UpAbout the Author

DI van Niekerk is passionate about embroidery and has taught all types of needlework for more than 20 years, among others to self-help groups doing candlewicking, quilting and ribbon embroidery. Battling to cope with long waiting list for classes DI began packaging designs with step-by-step instructions in kit form so that groups could start their own classes. This soon developed into a fully-fledged mail order business with orders for ribbons, books and designs dispatched all over the world. In addition to hand painting her own range of silk and organza ribbons and marketing them to retail outlets worldwide, DI runs tow busy embroidery shops in Cape Town. Author of several books on needlecrafts, Di's latest title Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork has become an international bestseller.
