Summertime Baby

Karen Bosch's Summertime Baby Sweet delight and joy results when you combine a mother's passion for needlework with wee creatures drawn from her daughter's enchanted imagination. Karen Bosch's collection of simple garments is as refreshing as a cool summer breeze. Each lovely item is fashioned of crisp Swiss cotton in summertime white and individually enhanced by her masterful application of heirloom techniques and laces. Serendipity smiled upon her creations when she adapted her daughter Tamzin's enchanting six little ladies for shadowwork by hand. Included are patterns plus step-by-step directions for two play top versions, bloomers, a smocked bishop, sun hats, a toddler purse and the dearest fabric book for little hands. The stitch library and heirloom techniques sections serve as a handy reference for garment construction or shadowwork embroidery. A companion CD brings our six ladies to the world of surface or appliqu? embroidery by machine. Soft-cover, full color.
