Stitchery in all its forms has been in a period of change and regneration for several years. The traditional arts of needlepoint, embroidery and patchwork are enjoying a popularity unknown for decades and are being adapted to uses hitherto undreamed of. The well-known artist and teacher Shirley Mareinis fully conversant with all the latest trends in stitchery, and in her stimulating text she explains in detail how to master the basic techniques of these crafts, how to do your own designing, and how to adapt design forms to the uses and materials you have chosen for them.
More than two hundred drawings specially made for the book show how to do basic embroidery and needlepoint stitches and how patchwork, quilting and applique are made. Text and diagrams explain how to design for stitchery and work bargello and radial bargello patterns. The materials and equipment suitable for the various forms of embroidery, crewelwork and needlepoint are fully dealt with, as are those for applique, reverse applique, patchwork and quilting. |
