Several months ago I bought a book to add to my library, but (said sheepishly) never opened it until today. Wow! What a great resource! I have now resolved to read every page because it’s a gold mine of information, especially for someone like me with no formal training.
Color for Embroidery by Mary D. Shipp
This is a completely awesome book, published in 1997, but the theories never go out of date. If you can get your hands on a copy, do it! I can tell just from the little browsing I’ve done this morning that it will be a tremendous benefit.
