Jane Austen Embroidery: Regency Patterns Reimagined for Modern Stitchers

What a lovely embroidery book! Beautiful patterns and intricate designs. Super cool that these were the same patterns that women back in Jane Austin's time used for their embroidery. The book had a lot more to it than I expected. Pleasantly surprised!I hope you found this review helpful.

This book was very interesting with education and instruction.

Interesting scholarship in this project based book. Apparently the projects are from period magazines that Jane Austin was known to read. My wife is both a big Jane Austin fan and an avid cross stitcher and says this book is a perfect transition into this style of embroidery.

This is a very nice book. It contains quite a bit of the periods history and has beautiful pic. The directions for the projects are more than adequate. The reason it only gets fore stars is that you have to have a copy machine or another method to size up the diagrams. They should have charged a little more and included a sheet of full sized templates

very nice, fully colored book. instructions are clear, and examples are cute.I might have wanted more variations, but overall I am very pleased. Great gift to anyone who embroiders!
