My mom bought me Emma by Jane Austen for Christmas. Because she liked the cover. I am my mother's daughter. I love love love the cover. The picture doesn't do it justice. The publishers embossed the cover, so you get a feel for the texture. The best part is the inside of the cover, which shows the backside of the embroidery! The Artist is Jillian Tamaki

Well, this book cover has made me want to embroider my own Illustration. I have an idea which involves Ferris wheels, balloons, and girls in dresses.

Any good tips for hand embroidery? Any web resources? It's been so long since I've done hand embroidery.
