No matter what the occasion, using the ideas in this book you can be confident that your gift is really one of a kind – you will have the freedom to create delightful projects in no time at all.

You will learn to personalise gifts for weddings – monograms pillowcases or linen, a valentine’s gift for that special person in your life; gifts for birthdays, graduations, Christmas; lovely place mats for a new home, a personalised wooden box which contains a gift for a kitchen tea or stork party to be used afterwards for towels and soaps in a guest bathroom; make a name tag for your daughter’s bedroom door or decorate her wall with the word Love. Learn how to make your own cards and gift tags; thank-you gifts are always welcome too. Included are different ideas for showing people courtesy and kindness – perhaps your neighbour or a colleague is going through a rough patch – make a small personalised gift to cheer her up; let her know that you are thinking of her. To quote W G Paulson Townsend: Embroidery is a very personal art; its charm lies in the individuality expressed by the worker.

I do hope that your creations will bring you, your friends and your family much enchantment and joy.
