Stitches from the

Harvest by Kathy

Schmitz, US$24.99

From the author of Stitches from the

Garden come 15 all-new embroidery

projects inspired by the sights and

colours of autumn. A North

American autumn to be sure –

including squirrels, oak leaves and

jack o’ lanterns – but if the lack of

Australian images doesn’t bother

you, this delightful book will provide

hours of pleasure as you stitch a

host of small projects, including

a cushion, tote bag, table runner

and a variety of sewing accessories

among them. Clear instructions and

helpful tips will ensure that even

novices will enjoy success – but that

doesn’t mean that more experienced

stitchers won’t enjoy these projects,

which are fairly quick to finish and

would make lovely accents for the

home or gifts handmade with love.

Published by Martingale. Available in

selected craft shops and as an e-book

from http://www.martingale-pub.com.
