by JillCarter (Author)
Jill Carter shows the embroiderer how to create beautiful heirlooms for family and friends which can be passed down from generation to generation. The 16 projects which fall into four sections -- weddings, 'new beginnings', special occasions and Christmas -- are accompanied by step-by instructions, line illustrations and specially commissioned photography. A range of techniques is covered -- surface embroidery, quilting, canvas work, heirloom sewing, cross stitch and drawn thread technique -- plus a comprehensive stitch glossary. A beautiful christening gown, a forget-me-not picture frame, a cross stitch wedding sampler and a Christmas stocking are just a few of the covetable projects.
