UK vintage THE BINCA BOOK Canvas Embroidery - Great Projects

On offer is this wonderful old, cross stitch book, THE BINCA BOOK - N42 - A Penelope Publication - Published and Printed in England - no date stated, that has so many beautiful designs and patterns for canvas embroidery that features mainly cross stitch and is in extremely good condition, especially inside.

What fun to embroider on Penelope Binca (Regd.) Canvas

It really is childs play; for the open mesh and clearly defined groups of threads make the stitchery fascinatingly easy to do.

Mostly cross stitch is used, but interesting variations are shown on the cushion and the luncheon set. For last minute gifts or for bazaars the designs are perfect as they can be completed in two or three evenings.

This wonderful book has SOMETHING for EVERYONE. All the following projects have a B&W PHOTO of the completed item along with detailed charts and graphs with full instructions and materials required for each individual project. The opening page fully explains about BINCA and covers The Material : The Thread : The Charts, whilst throughout the book are diagrams for Cross Stitch : Fern Stitch : Couching : French Knot.

This wonderful vintage book is in very good condition throughout, especially for its age. The pages are a quality, white glossy paper and have NO scribble, writing or notes, rips or tears, creases or folds. The front and back covers are also in very good condition, although there is a slight mark and colour rub where a price sticker has been removed along with a small crossed out written price on the top (RH side) on the front and also just displaying some very minimal bookshelf wear - due to storage. I am especially over critical of my craft books, trying to note as many details as possible - as I know how important even minor details are for collectors/buyers.
