Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The reader is guided through the practical steps involved in creating each design, and then the mathematics which underpins it is explained in a friendly, accessible way. This is a fantastic book for anyone who is interested in recreational mathematics and/or fibre arts and can be a useful resource for teaching and learning mathematical concepts in a fun and engaging format.
Features
- Numerous full-colour photographs of hitomezashi stitch patterns which have been mathematically designed
- Suitable for readers of all mathematical levels and backgrounds ? no prior knowledge is automatically assumed
- A compressed encoding for recording and designing hitomezashi patterns to be stitched or drawn
- Accessible explanations and explorations of mathematical concepts inherent in, or illustrated by, hitomezashi patterns
?As both a mathematician and fiber artist, Katherine Seaton merged these two areas of expertise into a scholarly blend of mathematics and embroidery. [?] Seaton?s new book is on the mathematics of hitomezashi embroidery. The book includes many embroidery examples and projects, while still maintaining an emphasis on mathematics.?
