Sun, also known as Nyang Stitch, has found a way to combine her love of cats and embroidery. The book begins with a primer on basic techniques and stitches. It includes a list of required supplies and templates for 22 embroidery projects. Readers can start with easy warm-up activities and work their way through designs that become more difficult. The small, decorative projects are all cute cats, ranging from simple patches to an elaborate design of three dancing felines surrounded by fronds and flowers.
VERDICT Cat fans and readers who are completely new to embroidery will gain a solid set of skills by the time they work their way through this book. Experienced embroiderers will find adorable patterns that could be easily replicated or adapted.
