Found some fabulous needlework books yesterday at an estate auction last weeks. A few have a bit of damage but will be priced to sell and of course are great for personal use.
Beautiful 2006 book of Home Furnishing Workbook with 32 step-by-step projects by Kartin Cargill. Published by Ryland, Peters and Small Publishing company parts of this book were originally published in 1999 under two separate titles. This is the 2006 edition of the combination of both books. Total of 191 pages.
Original price, 2006 was $19.99!!
Packed with projects, this is a beauty of a book for making simple but elegant home furnishing projects. Includes pillows, sheets, bedspreads, dust ruffles, canopies, lampshades, curtain, drapes and valances.
There is a chapter on pillow, sewing the various shapes, use of fabrics, trimmings and fastenings. Another on lampshades, this is a great chapter. Shows how to cover most shapes and types of wire lampshades, and creating various styles, like pleated, ribbed, and ruffled. As you know, covering lampshades is fussy and difficult, this book makes it easy. Another chapter on drapes and curtains. Lots of ideas and instructions for valances, edgings, headings and use of fabrics.
When faced with any of these projects, I would certainly hesitate. But Katrin Cargill's illustrations and clear instructions make even a complicated projects easy. Lots of variations too, so if your lampshade frame is not exactly as pictured, she shows all shapes and styles so you gain a bit of confidence covering something a bit different from what is pictured.
Book is soft covered but with additional flaps on covers so the edges are protected from dings and curling. Very well made book.
Condition: very good. In like new condition. Great for gift gifting. No rips, tears or writing.
This would be a great gift for the new home owner with lots of projects such as curtains and shades. Beautiful photographs too.
