The 20 embroidery designs in this book, with variations, allow the reader to transform quite ordinary pieces of fabric into fashionable home furnishings, from curtains, cushions and bedspreads to drawstring bags, throws and lampshades. The inspiration for the designs comes from diverse sources, such as ornate Jacobean crewelwork, simple Indian embroidery and abstract patterns such as runic characters. There are illustrated step-by-step instructions for each type of embroidery stitch and the book includes a conversion chart for DMC and Appleton embroidery wools.
