Description

This guide to embroidery introduces sophisticated stitchery that's easy to do, satisfying to finish and stunning to look at. It can be subtle or bold, combine ribbons with threads, silks with wools, mix textures and colours, but it need not be difficult or complicated. No experience is necessary. Kaye Pyke's style of combining texture with a dramatic use of stitches is set out with clear step-by-step instructions for everyone to try. The result is a collection of ideas for the beginner or more experienced embroiderer.
