Title: Alphabet Stitchery: By Hand & Machine
Author: Carolyn Vosburg Hall
Publication Date: TPB:1995
Publisher: Chilton Book Company, Radnor, PA
Page Count: 162
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 11" x 8 1/2"
ISBN: 0801985277
BONUS MECHANICS RATING: You not only get a wide variety of alphabet styles, but a lesson in how to create your own. This is yet another top shelf craft book put out by Chilton(who also published Colette Wolff's "Manipulating Fabric").
SUMMARY- There are no soft toy or doll patterns in this book - and I don't care. You always know you're going to get something amazing from Carolyn Vosburg Hall or the Chilton Book Company's old craft line - put them together and "WOW!" If you've read any other review of Mrs. Hall's books by me you know that I'm a huge fan - hence the addition of all her non-toy/soft sculpture books! Mrs. Hall's work is worth finding no matter what she does.
