Rsn: Embroidered Boxes

Just a wonderful how to book. The quality of the photography matches the clear yet detailed instructions . Not only is it the best box construction book I own, it also describes a surprising number of embroidery stitches. It covers everything from design, selecting materials, preparations, measurements through to final construction and finishing. Very well written.

I checked out several box-making books before buying this one. I figured since it was produced by the RSN, it would be good. It is. Very clear instructions. Inspiring projects. Beautiful pictures. Although it's geared toward creating your own boxes, I bought it for ideas for creating diptychs and framing embroidery & textiles. It gave me a lot of ideas. Wonderful book and a joy to just sit with a cup of tea and read for pleasure. (The only issue I had with this order was the packaging. It arrived banged up. I didn't return it because of the coronavirus... Amazon workers are working as hard as possible, and books are taking longer to arrive due to priority of food & cleaning supplies, and I was eager to read it. This is not part of the rating of the book, just a heads-up.)

excellent books and patterns

Excellent instructions on a wide variety of projects

I have purchase 3 amazing box making books recently and they all take first place together. What one book may miss, another has that detail. I love these books and have read all of them many times and will continue to do so.
