Summary

"Nicholas...indulges her love of nature in this book devoted to needlework dragonflies formed from a variety of threads, beads, and delicate fabrics...projects for a 'specimen box' of nine dragonflies with general instructions for embroidery, construction, and mounting. The finished insects are quite beautiful and very lifelike...suitable for general arts and crafts collections." --Library Journal.
