Magical Needlework: 35 Original Projects & Patterns

In this lighthearted look at the magical potential of a craft that many might overlook, Morrison's fascination with puns ("what's sew magical") and rhymes ("counted cross-stitches in a row make the magic really grow") not only add a touch of her good humor, but help with understanding the importance of rhyme when it comes to holding power. The 35 projects Morrison presents cover all kinds of needlecraft including: sewing, quilting, embroidery, crochet, knitting, and even the ancient arts of dyeing, spinning, and weaving. If you've never threaded a needle, this book is the perfect primer covering all the basics, both mundane and magical. If you're a pro with the thread, this book will give you a new appreciation of the magic in your own hands. --Brian Patterson
