The Embroidered Countryside

An illustrated introduction to drawing and design for embroiderers, explaining how to transform what the eye sees into what the paper or fabric depicts. Based on the belief that all that prevents anyone from drawing and designing is fear, it offers reassuring guidance, particularly to those new to the craft of embroidery. The author - a teacher with the Embroiderer's Guild - covers the basic rules of design including the skills of harmonizing straight lines and curves, conveying moods with the stroke of a pencil, and learning to capture the effect of light on a subject. He encourages the worker to apply the same design principles to embroidery and provides progressive exercises with step-by-step instructions.

Learn to create a beautiful collection of flower embroideries and many other favorites. Flowers for Embroidery is an inspiring yet practical book for embroiderers of all skill levels.

Relaxation exercises will enhance perceptions and reveal creative ways of tapping into your emotions.
