With instructions for 21 basic embroidery stitches and 6 projects,
all in Laura's signature colourful, whimsical style, you'll
transform a flat, plain surface into a joyful, design-packed art
piece. Stitch on wool, felt, or silk, and enjoy the simple pleasure
of slow stitching. Includes a gallery of display ideas, as well as
additional ideas for using free-form stitching.
Embroiderers everywhere won't find the time--they'll "make" the
time to create these delicate, artistic crewel and surface
embroideries. The 16 achievable projects are challenging but not
overwhelming, decorative but also practical, with pleasing color
schemes and clear step-by-step instructions. The inspirational
floral designs require the minimum number of stitches to create the
exciting and impressive stylized effects, conferring the
embroiderer a freedom of expression. The skillful blending of wool,
silk, and cotton guides the beginner and inspires the experienced
stitcher to create this unique style of embroidery. The numerous
photographs, illustrations, and row-by-row color keys make
following the projects an effortless task and a joy to stitch.
