The Embroiderer's Flowers

9 X 0.5 X 12.5 inches; 160 pages

From Publisher:

Flowers and embroidery have been inseparable on dress and furnishings from the age of Queen Elizabeth I up to the 20th century. This book, by the author of The Embroiderer's Garden, is an expression of a passion for flowers - their beauty, their history and their use in embroidery - and a pattern source book. The illustrations show the remarkable variety of style and technique used - canvaswork, blackwork, surface stitchery, patchwork, applique, crewelwork, stumpwork and machine embroidery. Some flowers are rendered with botanical accuracy, while others are captured through colour and texture.
