Love Kills Slowly Cross-stitch: 30 Cross-stitch Patterns from Ed Hardy
Original price was: $14.00.$7.65Current price is: $7.65.I am in my early 20s and absolutely love these patterns! Ed Hardy introduced tattoos to fashion but if you are looking for something like his posters or clothing, you won’t find it in this book. It is more the “tattoos” themselves. The skulls, flowers, little devil, etc.
The colors are great. Amazon does a great book preview and google has a couple more pages. The only complaint I have is that my eyesight is bad and I can’t read all of the symbols. But that is personal preference. It is a great break from the girly patterns I have been doing and I combined them into one large collage pattern. It follows DMC thread and there are quite a bit of patterns to chose from and they always show the finished product.
It is also great if you are looking for something to stitch for friends/boyfriend. My boyfriend loves poker and I have been searching forever for something like “Gambling Man” on the back cover. And I just finished the skull with Hawaiian flowers to cover up a rip in the top of my pants and have received tons of compliments! There is also a skull spider that I stitched onto my workout bag that everyone compliments and can’t believe it is cross stitched!
If you are new to cross stitch this book is perfect for you. If you are an experienced stitcher and want a weekend project, this is for you.
Ed Hardy needs to come out with another one already! It is great and a breath of fresh air for younger stitchers! Kelly R. Foster

Original price was: $13.59.$4.99Current price is: $4.99.Creative Mending: Beautiful Darning, Patching and Stitching Techniques (Over 300 color photos)
Mend, rethink, transform, recreate!
Mending your favorite fabric items—from jeans to sweaters to sofa covers—becomes a true art form in Creative Mending. In this book, mending guru Hikaru Noguchi shows you her entire range of valuable techniques—from embroidery and patching to darning and felting—that are just challenging enough for experienced menders.
Noguchi’s basic rules of mending are that the repair should suit the fabric and its user, and that there are lots of creative ways to create beautifully customized repairs—some subtle, others making a statement.
She provides 13 techniques that show you how to:
Apply creative repairs to both knitted and woven fabrics
Use yarn, floss, ribbon, and fabric to reinvent well-loved garments
Make understated repairs that add just a touch of contrast, color, or texture
Use visible mending techniques for bold repairs
Darn with felt to add body and dimension to a repaired item
Match your repairs to the damage, the fabric, and the wearer
Maneuver through tricky places like inseams and underarms
And more!
The 13 illustrated lessons and over 300 color photos in this book provide detailed examples for all the basic techniques. Lots of variations plus plenty of tips and examples (67 in all) provide you with all the guidance you need to rethink and repair beautifully.
The stunning photos will inspire you to get creative on that fraying neckline or worn elbow!
