Embroidery and textile art meet with Nichole Vogelsinger's colorful, bold Boho Embroidery style.

The small size of these projects takes the intimidation out of experimenting with patterns and stitch combinations. Nichole teaches you how to create 16 embroidery stitches. Then she sets you free to wander down your own creative path using her patterns and projects for guidance.
