Reviews

"Equal parts embroidery reference and palette theory, this book shows you to train the eye towards more fulfilling stitching choices. From pink spoons to melon sherbets, it's a practical approach to colour chemistry."

"Barbé has assembled an accessible primer to color theory, useful not only to embroiders but to any fiber artists working with color."

"It is a pleasure to review this fabulous new book...analysis of color palettes and how to develop them is very inspiring. I highly recommend this book for all levels of stitchers, with a caveat for beginners - the stitches and processes in the book are not simple, but if you approach your work slowly and meditatively, you will be rewarded for your time"

“I want to tell you about a book that makes me happy through and through. I think it might make you happy, too!  The book is called Colour Confident Stitching by Karen Barbé. It’s…good. In fact, it’s Really Good. The book is primarily a book on colour theory and grouping and choosing colours. That said, it’s not a complicated technical book on the scientific side of colour theory. It’s a very practical book, it’s easy to understand, easy to read, and eye-opening.”

*Knitting*

"Expect stunning photography and a whole new perspective on the art of hand-stitching."
