I am so happy I took a chance on this book. It's an excellent book when it comes to teaching, and it takes a very old style and puts a modern spin on it. I love it. When you first open the book it gives a brief history of crewel work, basics, and then it shows step by step picture of stitches. Which is excellent if you need the visual. This covers the first 31 pages of the book. Everything after that is the "Design Gallery". Which I enjoy seeing how they've made crewel truly modern. I love the inspiration I've garnished from the book.Thinking about purchasing? Its good if you looking to learn crewel stitches. If your already experienced sewing, and your not looking for a reference book then save your money. If you need inspiration save yourself the money and go to your local book store or library and thumb through it.I love embroidery but I truly prefer machine embroidery but I love crewel. I keep this book as a reference book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Renew your desire to create works of art with thread *by C***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2008* In my youth, I used enjoy doing embroidery projects, but grew bored with the typical imagery associated with the techniques involved (pillowcases and linen dishtowels - ugh). So I put it away until recently when I saw the renewed interest probably due to artists like Ms. Shaughnessy. This book encouraged me to create my own images using various types of thread (discussed in the materials and tools section). The stitches used and developed by the author, who focused on crewel when she was younger, is artistically stimulating. The author's amazing work is creative and so often draws your eye across the work as one would do with a classic painting in a museum. In addition, her discussion on the history of crewel (too brief IMHO) evokes the thread artistry tradition from the past to the "new" work of today. This book provides an excellent way to bring the passion back to thread art (crewel, embroidery). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, Quick Projects *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2008* I loved this book with its quirky designs. I was a bit afraid of crewel work until I read this book; it's easy & fun. All projects are very "do-able" and a lot of them can be done quickly with a minimum of fuss; ideal for a weekend & great for gifts. You don't need to have an extensive stash of threads to do these projects (although what embroiderer doesn't!!)which makes them affordable. Katherine has terrific suggestions for some of the designs & the book has funny anecdotes & tips & hints spread out through its beautifully illustrated pages. I can see this book becoming a firm favorite of mine. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1000732-the-new-crewel-exquisite-designs-in-contemporary-embroidery-paperback-november](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1000732-the-new-crewel-exquisite-designs-in-contemporary-embroidery-paperback-november) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
