At Play in the Garden of Stitch Book by Paula Kovarik

Free-motion stitching adds depth and texture to the artist's toolbox. This book provides new ways to think about how stitch can bring depth to composition, texture to emotions and line to ideas. Kovarik approaches stitching in a way that is approachable, fun and many layered. In addition to simple stitching and drawing exercises Kovarik shares examples and inspirations for how to approach this art form. Kovarik's award-winning art quilts illustrate her techniques and clarify her process. Close-up photos of stitching will inspire readers to try their hand at these techniques.
