Synopsis Beginners Guide to Goldwork by : Ruth Chamberlin

This popular book by Ruth Chamberlin now returns as a Search Press Classic, with an updated design and preface on the author by the illustrious embroiderer Mary Corbet. A needle art that dates back over a thousand years, goldwork embroidery involves sewing with lavish metal threads. It has been prized and often used by religious orders and royal households for its opulence and the way the light glimmers and plays on the beautiful metallic designs. Those in love with this brilliant style of embroidery can now create their own with easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide. Through calm and deliberate instruction, Chamberlin's book aims to teach the reader how to create a personal sampler - a piece of embroidery containing a mixture of designs and stitches, which shall provide a basis for future projects and enable readers to continue on their goldwork journey. With multiple stitch techniques - from simple laid stitch to the more complex basket stitch, several design motifs with corresponding templates that can be used, and a luminous gallery of finished work interspersed throughout, Chamberlin's work gently introduces beginners to the exquisite needle art of goldwork embroidery.

Synopsis Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage by : Teresa Wentzler

Teresa Wentzler's masterful creations never fail to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. But there's something special about this pair of designs--the beautiful birds and fantasy foliage are worked entirely in whole cross stitches and use very little backstitch. That means the rich shading will come to life on your fabric more quickly than Wentzler designs of comparable size. You'll soon see these exotic creatures proudly posing on pillows or in frames. Stitch count for each design is 160w x 160h. Some stitches use blended colors of floss. Each black-and-white chart is divided into four sections. Models worked over two threads on 28-count Zweigart® Cashel linen; finished size of each design 11.5 x 11.5. Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage (Leisure Arts #3936)
