Riches of Stitches: online embroidery guide
Ever wanted to learn more from the greats of modern embroidery, but can't get to the U.K. for a guild workshop? A collection of stitchmasters got together in 1994 and donated one article each to the newsletter of the Young Embroiderers group. Those articles are now available online (free!) in .pdf format as The Riches of Stitches. The articles have simple and not-so-simple stitch instructions plus design guides and inspiration.
