SYNOPSIS: This richly illustrated book tells you everything you should know in order to produce splendid, finished crewel embroidery work. Crewel is as colorful and varied a craft as your imagination can make it, and yet the few materials it requires are simple, inexpensive, and easy to obtain. This book shows you what you'll need and where to get it. Once you've mastered the nine basic stitches, you can adapt and vary them to produce complex, personalized designs. Clear, complete instructions are combined with step-by-step line drawings and photographs to show you how to swell your "vocabulary" to 50 stitches and how to practice and sharpen your skill. Before long, you'll be ready to stitch useful and decorative objects such as pillows, shoulder bags, and wall hangings. This book explains how to make these and other projects . . . and even create your own designs. And for inspiration, there's a brief history of this ancient and beautiful craft, illustrated with an eight-page color section featuring both the finest contemporary designs and museum masterpieces from the past.
