Elegant hardanger embroidery - a technique refined in the early 18th century - is once again in fashion. And one look at the close-up photographs in this lovely guide reveal why: the pulled threads in this lacy style of stitchery form beautiful patterns that are perfect on tablecloths, napkins, handkerchiefs, and other fine items. Needleworkers will find all the necessary information on these inspiring pages: how to create corner borders, count and pull threads, do various types of hemstitches, blend coloured and white threads, and more. The projects range from pretty placemats and doilies to openwork curtains with a peahole stitch motif.
