A cross between embroidery and cutwork, this lovely work was used on a wide variety of lovely things.

A wonderful tool for recreating this beautiful needlework technique. The instructions are clear and easy to follow with gorgeous pictures of the work. There is a great section on various stiches, then a huge assortment of projects to make, set up in the form of lessons. There are three edtions on Hardanger that were released by Priscilla. This is the earliest edtion, and the later two editions show a few of the same projects that were included in this book.
