The Ultimate A to Z Companion to 1,001 Needlecraft Terms: Applique, Crochet, Embroidery, Knitting, Quilting, Sewing

As always, I am very pleased with the ease of ordering on-line, the promptness of the delivery and the all around service!

Just because we do needlepoint doesn't mean we are familiar with other types of needlework. How often do you come across a term and wonder what it means? How often do you find yourself wondering when looking at a book from England whether duo canvas is the same as Penelope canvas? (It is.) But try to find this information and frustration ensues. There aren't really good on-line sources, most reference books handle only one or two types of needlework. I have long wanted some kind of reference which would help me find this information. This little book with the long title, exactly fits the bill. It defines, often with illustrations, terms in appliqué, crochet, sewing, embroidery, quilting, and lots more. Terms in use in both the US and UK are defined. The definitions are clear and well-written, and often include the term in other languages as well as pointers to other terms in the book. While it isn't going to take the place of your stitch dictionaries and needlepoint reference books. this little book deserves a place in your needlework bookshelf.
