Ellen Anne Eddy

I began reading a copy of Ellen Anne Eddy's new book, Thread Magic Garden, and I am just amazed! Thread Magic Garden is a book for free-motion thread painters (embroidery) and I have never seen a book go into so much detail! Eddy teaches how to make over 20 flowers and a dragonfly, gives examples of what to cut and how to lay the flowers out. She does her work on a stabilizing sandwich, cuts out the designs, and then, there is no puckering or distortion around such heavily stitched flowers. She then uses more embroidery to stitch the flower to the quilt.
Ellen Anne Eddy is well-known for her beautiful embroidered quilts, and in Thread Magic Garden, you can see much of her work, some on a small scale, so we can see the details much closer. Just looking at her work will amaze you, and with her instructions included, this is indeed an inspirational book!
