Book Description

Discover the delights of punch needle embroidery in this gorgeous practical guide, with 20 charming projects from France's favorite embroiderer and crafter

Punch needle embroidery is a traditional technique that came out of the US in the 19th century and is similar to rug hooking. A strand of thread is pushed through loose-weave fabric, making a ‘loop’ on the other side. Repeated several times, this simple action creates a stunning, decorative, tactile design.

In this lovely and practical guide, you’ll find:

  • Key materials and equipment explanation
  • Basic punch-needle stitches and techniques
  • Beautiful guiding photographs
  • Helpful diagrams and templates for tracing
  • 20 charming projects, including flower-adorned pillows, pretty wall hangings and stylish bags!

Informative and easy to follow, The Art of Punch Needle Embroidery includes everything you need to get started on your own quick-and-easy needle punching projects.

About the Author

About Marie Suarez

While working as a nurse, Marie Suarez spent her free time embroidering, a passion she’d had since childhood. Eventually she made a life-changing decision and gave up nursing to turn her passion into a job. 

Self-taught, she spent time rigorously studying the works and techniques of other embroiderers, as well as visiting museums, exhibitions and conferences on embroidery, in order to improve her skills. She has since received the title of Master Embroiderer and is one of Europe’s best-selling embroidery authors, with 28 books under her belt. 

When she’s not writing or creating commissioned work, she shares her techniques and thoughts via her blog, www.suarezmarie.canalblog.com, or sells her designs through her website, www.mariesuarez.com.

Marie lives in Beersel, Brabant in Belgium.
