I was thrilled to be invited back, as I loved my time teaching there last year. Only the earliest of details about the conference have been announced yet, but you [...] Here’s the next online book preview: Elegant Hardanger Embroidery. This time we have a preview of the cover, the inside front cover showing some of the projects, the contents, the first few pages of information, part of a project, the index, the inside back cover showing the remainder of the projects, and the back cover.
