For centuries stitchery in its many forms has been employed as an embellishment for fabrics of all kinds. Essentially a hand craft, embroidery adds a uniquely personal touch that may be even more satisfying than the completed project it is decorating. Whether sophisticated and slick or gently rustic, embroidery provides its own rich counterpoint of color and texture.
This book is meant to be an introduction and guide to the basic techniques of stitchery.
We would like to thank all of the people who have generously shared so many hints and suggestions by answering our request in Sunset Magazine for embroidery and applique ideas, as well as those who offered their fine stitcheries for use in our book. Special thanks to the following individuals for their extra efforts and encouragements: Kay Aronson, Ruth Baldwin, Lyndane Browning, Roberta Fanning, Nancy Freeman, Doris Hoover, Melissa Hougham, Alberta Humphreys, Cecile Huntzinger, Araby Judd, Marilyn Judson, Tina Kauffman, Nancy Lawton, Sylvia Matthews, Mrs. Nelson T. Nowell, The Peninsula Stitchery Guild, Joan Schulze, Audrey Thorup, Margaret Vaile, and Kelly Wallace.

John Murphy's sock creations have been featured in such publications as the Washington Post and Readymade magazine. Crafters with a sense of humor, a taste for the weird, wacky, and way-out, and a hunger for the outrageous will find themselves captured by this wildly creative menagerie of sock monsters.

Possessed of irresistible charm, these creatures offer all the inspiration anyone needs to transform cast-off socks into wickedly funny toys. There's Claude with his perplexed expression and tiny tail that stands at full attention. Jordan's always on the prowl; he's got three eyes, so nothing escapes him. And there's something really odd about Estelle. Maybe it's her silly conical head balanced precariously on four tiny feet--or perhaps it's just that she's always sticking out her bright red tongue. Great instructions and charming illustrations make it easy to bring these unique personalities to life. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.
