Description
Produced in collaboration with the incredible team at Inspirations Studios
This book is a celebration of the embroidery style I have developed and of my 25 years working as a professional embroiderer. It also records, for posterity and inspiration, the many techniques I have developed over the years and the wide range of materials I have sourced from round the world and how to use them.
The book includes 9 projects which have been selected to demonstrate my eclectic style of embroidery, encompassing myriad techniques and materials:
- The Owl and the Pussycat
- The Gawthorpe Needlecase
- The Pugin Scissor Case
- The Wren Étui
- The Mossy Hillock
- The Samode Purse
- The Peacock Étui
- The Hebridean Puffin
- The Parham Owl Étui
All of my projects tell a story and we have therefore created a book which has the feel of a beautiful storybook, leading you into an enchanted world of stitch, told with the exquisitely magical photography and artistry for which Inspirations Studios are famed.
Over 250 pages, each project is portrayed with full materials lists and extremely comprehensive instructions, illustarted with my own working diagrams.
Readers may therefore work the project themselves from the book, using the recommended materials, or their own choices, or purchase a full kit from Jenny Adin-Christie or Inspirations Studios.
