It’s wonderful for you to let us take a peek in your library. I love all the details that you are sharing with us.

[@danisehetland3378]

I’m really, really enjoying the series on books! It’s really helpful to have a look at the books and hear your review as there are so many interesting books available. This series is a good aid in deciding which books to purchase.

[@NightTimeDay]

Books and embroidery, I can't think of a more cozy combination. Thanks for a lovely video once again Sarah!

[@juliehirschboeck1415]

I love this. A guided tour through a wonderful library - one I will probably never own and some volumes I may never see. Thank you

[@nathaliemaullin6590]

Again a really educational video. We are so lucky to benefit from your curiosity and experience. Thank you!

[@sallyhpenny5795]

This has to be my favourite book of all Sarah. I am always in awe of the skill that these people demonstrated - and when you take into consideration when all this was happening, it's truely remarkable. Just beautiful.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I'm in awe of them too!

[@jeaninerumble6503]

I really enjoyed your presentation! Such a lovely book full of inspiration! Thank you.

[@nupur5586]

Great books - glad to have both volumes in my library… glad you reminded me of the samplers in the dust jacket !

[@tawnyahuntsman4163]

I love learning from you!

[@noellelong5516]

Love this series, indeed! I had already purchased the May Morris book, but the Bayeux Tapestry book was unknown to me. Please continue to share your recommendations. They are a treasure trove of inspiration and information.

Beautiful book gorgeous details too in the images 😍

Great book!!! I loved watching you sharing this. I'd love more book videos!!! Thx for vid. Austin,TX USA

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I better get some more books then Barbara!

[@barbaracabrera207]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery You could get some from library. Then you don't have to buy them!!!

I got into embroidery work during quarantine, and recently tried to make a wedding gift which includes embroider letters. Watched your video just now, here to show support.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thanks Debby!

[@MariaMartinez-jb3zn]

I love the sneak peeks into your embroidery books. Was this done before Jonathan? I wish you could have zoomed in on the stitches..I couldn’t really see anything. Thank you for descriptions. I’d much rather be sitting next to you while we both look at the book 😏😆 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

[@amandapower9718]

I am so lucky to have both volumes on my shelves (which my bank balance is also relieved about this month 😂). I was lucky enough to be in the RSN shop as they were about to put them on display. I confess though I have them both sealed until I have read my others (because they were such an investment) but I am not sure how they will remain sealed now that I have seen inside! If I had a super power I would want to be able to move through time to all of these past embroidery exhibitions I have missed!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

You have sealed books Amanda?! And both of these?!! That's impressive self control....

[@rebeccat5738]

I love embroidery and love books, and am so enjoying seeing all your collection, thank you for sharing all this information, I can't think of a nicer way for me to spend 20 minutes, more please!!!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I'm running out of books Rebecca!!

[@historyfreak6591]

These books are so nice! If you have one about historical thread painting, I would love to see it please

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I don't think there is a book on that but if anyone knows different please let me know!

[@TheJanestarling]

Another beautiful book, I've used this word a lot but these are just stunning! You must see new details everytime, they're just so complex. Not sure hanging a baby by it's feet is the done thing though :)

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Is that not ok?! :)

[@TheJanestarling]

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Personally I think it's ok, but others frown upon it ;)

[@forsythia33]

In the picture of the unfinished book cover you say they did all the key shapes first, and then planned to fill in the background. I am doing a larger piece, a landscape, for my first sampler (ahem), and realize that might have been a better plan - to do the sky after the castle and mountain, for instance. But I was thinking it was better to start with the the items 'farthest away' (sky, for instance) and end with the items 'closest' to the viewer. However, as you point out, if certain figures or elements are very specific (a person, an animal) in their outlines then maybe it's best to do those first and fill in grass, sky, sea etc. around them. Are there other tips about this kind of planning that you discuss in one of your videos? (I call this ridiculously large project my sampler because I am using it to learn as I go.)

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It depends what stitching technique you are using Forsythia33: Silk shading is worked from back to front (as layers such as petals for example overlap each other so you put the thing that's on top last) and canvas/needlepoint usually the other way around (so you fill in the elements at the front to get a good shapes then fill in the background around it)

[@debbiemarquis3231]

I just found some books..but i want to give them away..i don't have time to do anything..

[@cecilyerker]

Well there’s no rush, you can always look at them first. Maybe you can just pick one project and do it when you have a few minutes at a time.

[@debbiemarquis3231]
