About the Book

A meticulously prepared and presented basic fun hand embroidery primer for children, complete with mini-needlework kit, produced by Bella Lane, graduate of the Royal School of Needlework, originally from the Peruvian Amazon. This hand stitching primer is the first in a series, as the title implies, soon to be followed by "Second Steps" and so on. The concept was created by best selling author John Lane, in which Peruchita, the little girl in the story, is inspired during her daily walk to school by the wonders of the rain forest to create a succession of stitches which she works into an embroidered gift for her mother. Clear and simple step by step instructions are included, together with a succession of apt and precise drawings at every stage. And finally, this delightful little book is beautifully and colourfully illustrated by celebrity artist Adebanji Alade from Nigeria.

About the Author :
Bella Lane is originally from the Amazon rain forest in northern Peru. She came to London in 2001 and in addition to her studies undertook humanitarian aid assignments for VSO in North West Frontier Province (Pakistan) after the SE Asia earthquake, in Somaliland, in Tanzania and Ethiopia. She was accepted as an Apprentice at the Royal School of Needlework and graduated in 2009, since which time she has undertaken a wide variety of specialist hand embroidery commissions, taught students from all over the world at her Studio and elsewhere, and founded London's Embroidery Club. She also travels widely as costume designer for a puppet theatre group. This is her first book; more are planned. Her best selling co-author John Lane has written nine books.

Review :
This is a charming and delightful book which weaves a story in with the introduction of embroidery stitches. These are clearly explained and suitable for beginners and the more experienced. The book also contains a lovely kit containing fabric, thread, needle etc... This is the first book of a series. Makes a lovely gift. (Amazon review). Proactive, interactive, fun and purposed learning. Take a break from techno and relish this. Looking forward to a continued series. Here's hoping! (Verified Amazon Purchase).
