I highly recommend this book for all levels of stitchers, with a caveat for beginners - the stitches and processes in the book are not simple, but if you approach your work slowly and meditatively, you will be rewarded for your time" * feelingstitchy.com * "Packed full of inspirational photos and easy to follow step-by-steps, this is a handy companion." * Popular Patchwork * "Makes choosing colours and creating palettes an enjoyable part of the sewing process." * Sew * "From pink spoons to melon sherbets, it's a practical approach to colour chemistry." * Dressmaker * "I want to tell you about a book that makes me happy through and through. I think it might make you happy, too! The book is called Colour Confident Stitching by Karen Barbe. It's...good. In fact, it's Really Good. The book is primarily a book on colour theory and grouping and choosing colours. That said, it's not a complicated technical book on the scientific side of colour theory. It's a very practical book, it's easy to understand, easy to read, and eye-opening." * www.needlenthread.com * "If you are anything like me, you'll know the feeling of rifling through your yarn collection . . . not quite sure what is going to work. Colour Confident Stitching has the answers." * Knitting * "Expect stunning photography and a whole new perspective on the art of hand-stitching." * Love Sewing *
