May Reading Round-up

May was a busy month of reading. I keep finding books that just beg to be added to my pile. Juggling library books, books on Kindle, and reading at NetGalley, I'm well ahead of my reading goal for the year.

In May, I read some really great books that were extremely diverse.






This is a book filled with designs that are examples of stunning simplicity. The first section is filled with monochrome projects. The line design is creative and filled with so much style. The second part of the book is multi-colored designs. Again, the combination of design and color is really stunning and eye-catching. There is really something for everyone.

The rest of the book is filled with templates, instructions, and patterns that make it look easy enough for beginning embroiderers, but still creative enough for the more-skilled makers.

As I flipped through the projects, I found myself flipping faster and faster to see all of the wonderful designs/projects. I was torn because I wanted to savor every image and plan how I'd tackle each project (and who I'd give the gifts to), but on the other hand, I wanted to get to the end of the book so I could drop everything and immediately start.

This is a book I will use over and over. I can already imagine so many projects coming from between these pages.
