To me, the beauty of embroidery is having the freedom to make design decisions as you work on a piece. The projects in \u003cem\u003eStitchcraft\u003c\/em\u003e are not written as an embroidery kit might be, with every single step and stitch listed. Rather, I provide patterns along with notes about how I approached each piece to get you started. You should feel free to substitute colors and other elements to make your piece unique to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDescription for Sales People\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom sales rep: \"I want to underscore what an incredibly gorgeous book this is, and it was the book that I presented at Winter Institute that the booksellers loved most.
