I love crewel embroidery and this slim book is jam-packed with designs for crewel embroidery. Frances Bradbury is a talented artist and embroiderer, and she has done some beautiful designs ready for you to adapt to your own projects.
All designs are stand alone, or capable of being put together to make a larger piece.
A short history of crewel embroidery is given, but other than that, the book is an embroidery book in medieval style, and has no stitch instructions or thread recommendations. This is definitely not a book of designs for the beginner to use, but for one who has mastered some crewel stitches, and is confident about using them to best effect. This book truly is a wealth of inspiration for the Embroiderer who wants to do crewel embroidery. If so, please e-mail me with your suggestions. Inc. All rights reserved.
