Author: Susan O'Connor
Rich in colour and decoration, this book echoes the sumptuous style of the Elizabethan era. The favourite flowers and fruits of Queen Elizabeth I and her subjects are stitched in the same beautiful colours and ornate fashion that gives embroidery from this era such a long lasting appeal. Each of the 12 large floral motifs and 12 small ones are worked together to create a superb large throw, but can easily be adapted for individual use on any number of items. A full thread conversion chart is provided so that the embroidery can be worked on any scale in wool, cotton or silk thread. Full size patterns included.

Stunning photographs, concise instructions and clear step-by-step photographs make this an irresistible title for all embroiderers.

Author: Edwina Ehrman
Scattered through the museums and private collections, the 17th and 18th century samplers stitched by pupils of Judith Hayle and her daughter Rebecca thompson have been known to collectors or needlework and textile historians for some time.

Only now has an attempt to piece together the lives, experiences and background of these girl sampler-makers and their teachers come to fruition, thanks to research by Edwina Ehrman at the Museum of London.

This is the last copy we will have of this title and it is a smaller sized book than the other larger Needleprint design books, but full of gorgeous photographs and description.
