This is a great introductory book to silk ribbon embroidery. Covering essential tools and materials, Ann Cox takes us through easy to follow stitch techniques and shows us a myriad of individual plants, flowers and other objects we can create from them. Each stitch is fully explained and illustrated with step-by-step pictures, so even a true beginner can recreate any of the stitches with ease (although some with a little practise!). The reader is also shown how to plan, create and mount larger artworks and there is a range of six equally stunning projects to follow.

This was a new craft for me and I was thrilled at how simple this book made those first tentative steps into silk ribbon embroidery, and also at just how many ideas I came away with. I would certainly recommend Beginner’s Guide to Silk Ribbon Embroidery to fellow embroiderers and textile artists.
