This week flew by so fast that I didn't get a chance to embroider a thing. First week on the new job and all that... However, one of the nice things about working where I now work is that there is a real library on site, and that's where I discovered this book on embroidery by Francoise Tellier Loumagne. Wow... great photos and lots of inspiration to help you discover ways of transposing your ideas into embroidery. On one page you've got pictures of plants, flowers, and everyday things like a window with dew drops (my fave), and on the facing page the same image imagined in needlework. She has written other books too which you may be familiar with. Anyway, no need to read French to savor the images and ideas in this book!
Oh, this one is a keeper! It looks really nice. I did not know this artist, thank you for highlighting her work.

Just a cheery note to say I enjoy your blog- thanks for sharing all of your wonderful info + eye candy!
And a question- can this book be ordered on line from the US?
