Discover how to bring your embroideries to life with
Pat Trott's original and vibrant guide, which shows how
to create many different raised stitches. Illustrated
throughout with diagrams and step-by-step photography,
this book combines techniques with inspiration. French
knots, tufting, stem stitch, whipped spider's web, woven
picot and more are included and combined with painted
backgrounds, couching, padded work and twisted threads
to create a sequence of easy-to-follow projects. Pat
Trott guides the embroiderer through each stage, showing
how to build up scenes and pictures. Using nature as her
source of design, she demonstrates the techniques
involved in creating flowers, plants, woodlands and
seashores. |
