  19. My husband just passed away and I would like to start scrapbooking, to keep his memory alive. It’s the one craft I haven’t done yet, and I feel this is the perfect time to start.

  20. Hello. If I won the gift card, I would supply myself with journaling and scrapbooking because I’m 68 years old and need medication, prompts, and encouragement to get started on telling “my story”. I have boxes and boxes of photos and memories I would like to share with my kids in a creative way. I want to tell MY story as to WHO I am and what iv done and where iv been so that like so many others before me, my story doesn’t get lost. I have my mother’s journals also I’d like to share.

  22. I will definitely buy sewing supplies…every time I decide I want to make something new, there is always something else I need to complete it and have to put the project off until I have everything needed

  24. I would buy fabric, patterns and accessories to make things with and for my grandchildren. The six-year-old is learning to sew by hand right now.

  26. My husband and I would definitely get blacksmithing tools. Metal work and glass blowing are our new hobbies

  27. I would buy counted cross stitch fabric and yarn to make things for little granddaughter to get her inspired to follow in mine and her mommy’s creative shoes.

  28. I purchase hard to find yarns and make items to help me survive as a retired “have to still work” senior. I live Craftgossip.com. Bern a subscriber for at least 10 years maybe more. Keep up the great work. P.S. I love that you’re adding pictures again to the newsletter. ?

  29. I would buy some resin moulds and colours. My sister is giving me some resin products, but I would love to make items as gifts.

  31. Wow what a amazing price to win. I think i would bye fabric and felt. To make stuffed animals and Christmas projects.

The Art of Embroidery Design: A Workshop for Developing Your Own Original Stitching

Christi Johnson’s “The Art of Embroidery Design” offers a comprehensive and inspiring guide for both novice and experienced embroiderers aiming to develop their own unique designs. Building upon her previous work, “Mystical Stitches,” Johnson provides a structured approach to the design process, emphasizing creativity and personal expression.

The book is organized into clear, manageable sections that guide readers through the design process:

Developing a Vision: Johnson encourages readers to explore their personal inspirations, fostering a deeper connection to their work.

Choosing a Color Palette: Guidance is provided on selecting colors that resonate with the intended design, enhancing visual appeal.

Using Variations in Line Weight: Techniques are introduced to create dimensionality and texture, adding depth to embroidery pieces.

Achieving a Range of Textural Effects: The book explores various methods to incorporate diverse textures, enriching the tactile quality of the designs.

 

Practical Exercises: Hands-on sketching and stitching exercises are included to build confidence and refine design skills.

Cultural Inspirations: The book showcases historical examples from artisans in Mexico, India, Peru, China, Nigeria, and more, offering a global perspective on embroidery traditions.

Artist Profiles: Profiles of contemporary embroidery artists provide insights into diverse creative processes and styles.

Visual Appeal: Dozens of colorful photographs of Johnson’s own work, along with inspiring examples from various artists, enhance the book’s aesthetic value.

Early reviews from platforms like NetGalley highlight the book’s impact:

One reviewer noted, “Christi Johnson has done it again in this beautifully detailed book… The book is absolutely beautiful with stunning pictures of Johnson’s work and inspiration pieces.”

Another reviewer mentioned, “This is not a book of patterns (there are many of those) but rather about taking inspiration from nature, fabrics and textures to create one’s own patterns even if you can’t draw.”

“The Art of Embroidery Design” serves as an invaluable resource for those looking to infuse their embroidery projects with personal creativity and cultural richness. Johnson’s structured approach, combined with her emphasis on individual expression, makes this book a must-have for anyone interested in the art of embroidery design.

In summary, Christi Johnson’s latest work offers a comprehensive and inspiring guide for both novice and experienced embroiderers aiming to develop their own unique designs.
