Summary:
"Keeping to a theme started in her earlier book Crewel Twists, the author continues the concept of using non-traditional techniques and materials in crewel or Jacobean surface embroidery. Traditionally worked with wool on linen twill fabric, crewel embroidery has endured since the reign of King James I of England in first quarter of the 17th century. The fabrics used in this book include: hopsack, dupion silk, taffeta, linen/cotton blends and cotton voile. This book showcases four large projects, each with an accompanying small project similar in technique, and shows needle workers how to be creative with threads, alternative stitches and beads. Traditional techniques are explained but are extended with the use of bead embroidery, needle lace techniques, and stitches not normally used in crewel work. Many new needle lace and bead embroidery techniques are incorporated, and the book also explores weaving techniques used to create textures like twill and lace weaves, as well as patterns similar to tartan and houndstooth check. Every project is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and lots of photographs, and the completed embroideries are once again displayed in ways that are both decorative and functional in the home. Templates of the original designs complete this magnificent source for creative embroidery"--Provided by publisher.
