In Creative Embroidery, Dilys Blackburn first shows readers how to master the basic stitches, then progresses at a comfortable pace to more elaborate techniques. She covers a variety of styles and periods-including Jacobean embroidery, cut and shadow work, and quilting-illustrating each with a clearly instructed project. In the second section, readers are encouraged to broaden their skills to include painting the fabric before embroidering, working from photographs and the imagination, and to complete intricate embroidered gardens, birds, and landscapes. Abundantly illustrated with color photos, Creative Embroidery is an outstanding source of inspiration and instruction for students, amateurs, and experienced embroiders alike.
