interested in free-motion embroidery. Drawing on new material, as
well as that previously published as The Beginner's Guide to
Machine Embroidered Flowers, The Beginner's Guide to Machine
Embroidered Landscapes, Machine Embroidered Seascapes and Machine
Embroidered Woodlands, this book provides a showcase of Alison
Holt's exquisite machine embroideries. Learn how to create

landscapes and woodlands using various combinations of just two
simple machine stitches. Information on silk painting and colour
mixing is also included. All the techniques are broken down into
clear, step-by-step instructions, with numerous helpful photographs
and a great range of inspirational pieces. Alison 'paints' her
threads on to hand-coloured backgrounds, blending her stitches and
achieving stunning results. This book covers everything, including
the materials required; how to compose a picture from photographs
that have inspired you; achieving perspective; light and shade;
painting backgrounds; and all the basic stitch techniques you need
to know. There are stunning step-by-step projects so that the
reader can put into practise his or her newly-acquired skills.
Data is fundamentally changing the nature of businesses and
organisations and the mechanisms for delivering products and
services. This book is a practical guide to developing strategy and
policy for data governance, in line with the developing ISO 38505
governance of data standards. It will assist an organisation
wanting to become more of a data driven business by explaining how
to assess the value, risks and constraints associated with
collecting, using and distributing data.
Directors and government ministers across the world are
increasingly being held accountable for failed IT systems, data
loss and poor decisions about their organisation's data. The answer
lies in IT professionals working in parallel with their governing
body to create an environment where information and information
systems can be accessed and used by the appropriate stakeholders.
Written in two halves, this valuable book is designed to bridge the
gap between the governing body and CIOs/ IT managers. It will help
them to create a safe and robust governance framework for their
organisation by applying the principles of the ISO IT Governance
Standard 38500 on directing, evaluating and monitoring IT activity.
A practical approach to best practices in IT governance Shows how
to govern, protect and manage information and technology assets
Reduces the risk involved in delivering business information
systems Written by a leader of the group that developed the ISO/IEC
38500 standard
