![]() ![]() I recall hardly anyone was from WI.one from FL and various other states, maybe only 20 in all! I brought my books of hers already owned and purchased this one there, all of which she graciously signed!!! She came with her husband Bill and they are the most charming people.įirst, you can't beat the accent. She taught several classes and mine is the English edition with a slightly different cover. ![]() Greenoff in a tiny town in the middle-of-nowhere in Wisconsin. I have personal experience with Jane Greenoff which sets her apart for me: amazingly, 10 years ago, Just Cross Stitch Magazine sponsored an extended weekend stitch retreat with Ms. It's a happy and fun piece and I think it will be my next project. A special treat for me was the Sea Breezes Band Sampler. Her Christmas Advent Calander features several lovely motifs which can be used as cards or ornaments if you wish. There are a great variety of projects from Blanket Panels to unique Seasonal Florals, Embellished Pictures, Band Samplers and a Space Dyed Spot Motif Sampler in lively colors. Large pictures accompany each piece and stitch details are photographed when needed. Her charts are large, easily read, in color and symbol codes. I find her explaination of fabric choices helpful and as always, appreciate the stitch guide and other information in the back of the book. But, these designs are so thoughtfully worked out that even without using other stitches any piece would be lovely in cross-stitch alone. So far, I haven't attempted Hardinger or other advanced techniques and think I would prefer to see them demonstrated before using them on a piece I am working. It is a very good follow up to her, "The New Cross Stitcher's Bible." I enjoy the variety of motifs and explanations of different stitching techniques that complement a cross-stitch piece. This book is chock full of designs, color and examples of unusual ways to add stitches and accent the fabric you choose to work on. This 1998 book is as contemporary today as when it was written.
