The term 'Bayeux stitch' often describes the laid and couched work
that was used across Europe in the middle ages. This practical book
of techniques and projects demonstrates the simple style of the
Bayeux tapestry, before showing variations based on both surviving
examples and adaptations of medieval manuscripts. It explains the
narrow range of stitches used in laid and couched work and
introduces the limited colour palette in medieval embroidery and
the rhythmic use of colour. There are twelve projects with
step-by-step sequences that illustrate how to stitch subjects
ranging from knights to trees, and from dragons to bishops. By
introducing subtle variations of techniques and materials, Tanya
Bentham illustrates the endless potential of this beautiful
embroidery, and brings it alive for today's embroiderers.
