All Points Patchwork: English Paper Piecing Beyond the Hexagon for Quilts and Small Projects | Diane Gilleland

pick

This is a really excellent craft book! Detailed written instructions and clear photographs explain English paper piecing very thoroughly. There are lots of project ideas, though only one is shown step-by-step (the pentagon ball)—it‘s pretty much obvious how to do the rest, since she gives clear instructions on joining shapes and doing appliqué. I can‘t wait to get started doing some English paper piecing.

Blackwork Made Easy: Techniques, Patterns & Samplers | Lesley Wilkins

pick

This book is exactly what it says it is: techniques, patterns, and samplers for blackwork embroidery. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t have any information about doing blackwork on clothing (as it historically was), which is what I really want to do. But I suppose I can practice on Aida and figure out the rest myself.

The Royal School of Needlework Book of Embroidery: A Guide to Essential Stitches, Techniques and Projects | Royal School of Needlework

bailed

This book is gorgeous and informative, but it‘s too dang heavy and the font is really small and cramped. For a book that has so much emphasis on design, they really didn‘t design that aspect well.
