I was lucky enough to win a copy of The Art of Punch Needle Embroidery and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Punch needle is a technique I’ve not tried before and this book gives me the confidence to give it a go once I have the supplies together. The book opens with sections on tools and materials, all clearly described and illustrated. Then follows a technique section with stepwise instructions and many photographs. The main section of the book is dedicated to the projects, large and small. Each project has a detailed supplies list and clear instructions, both for working the embroidery and for finishing the object. The small projects have clear, traceable templates with the instructions, while templates for the larger projects are on a fold out sheet tucked into a pocket at the back of the book. The projects cover a range of tastes so if punch needle is a technique that interests you then this book is definitely worth investigating.

Punch needle embroidery has been around for hundreds of years, though its popularity has waxed and waned over time. Here, Suarez, one of the current experts in this medium, provides an overview of all the commonly used materials and techniques as well as patterns for 15 projects. Answers to frequently asked questions are interspersed throughout in the form of highlighted tips, and photo examples are provided for all of the materials referenced. The projects are graded into three levels of difficulty. Each pattern includes a list of materials, directions for embroidery preparation, and assembly instructions, along with an actual-size template, a diagram showing the order of working, and a color photo of the completed project. The projects are mostly for decorative items, though several, such as bags and purses, also have utility. The information about materials and techniques is likely to be useful as a reference for anyone who makes punch needle embroidery a pursuit. The color schemes and feel here fit right in with the current cottagecore trend.
