Product Description
Product Description
Stumpwork—or raised embroidery—has a rich texture that really makes a design stand out. Create hangings, embroidered brooches, and images of flowers, animals, and wildlife with these 19 projects. Stitch dandelions, buttercups, and butterflies; a deer next to a pear tree; a pinwheel decorated with foxgloves on one side and a dragonfly with metallic wings on the other. Includes instructions for every stitch you need.
Ingram
Originating in the 17th century, stumpwork embroidery creates beautiful raised designs with satin backgrounds, padding, and motifs often embellished with beads. Designer and author Jane Nicholas details 19 projects containing 28 motifs of field flowers, pansies, wildlife, and other features applied to apparel and household decorations. Includes hundreds of illustrations and photos.

Just beautiful - what an inspiration,
By Mimi Jackson "www.findadressmaker.com" (Jamaica Estates, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stumpwork Embroidery Designs And Projects (Hardcover)
I happened upon this one in the local library -- I didn't know what stumpwork was - but after spending about an hour with this book, I went to Amazon.com and ordered my own copy. The history, beautiful photographs, and detailed and easy-to-understand instructions make this book a must-have.

wonderful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stumpwork Embroidery Designs And Projects (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful book of excellent quality hardcover, that is very inspirational for lovers of stumpwork. I agree with the other reviewers; it is essential to have the first book 'Stumpwork: A collection of fruits, flowers and insects' as there are constant cross references to instructions only found in the first book.

A must for any stitcher,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stumpwork Embroidery Designs And Projects (Hardcover)
I agree with the person from Virginia, this is an excellent book with beautiful projects but you need to have her first book to understand the references. Personally, this doesn't bother me. Besides, what stitcher doesn't have a large stash anyway? :) The suggested projects are absolutely gorgeous!
