Inhaltsangabe

Using stitches and colours, this title contains ideas for capturing the modern world with a sampler, still using age-old designs but interpreting them with beautiful images and contemporary techniques. Topics covered include: stitches - the samplers are based around the favoured cross-stitch, but other stitches are suggested to give embroideries a rich texture; colour - the mixing and blending of colours to create a wide range of effects and a harmonious design; designs - a great variety of motifs are included from Suffolk sheep to sunflower, country house to cornstook; composition - five larger projects are included; step-by-step instructions are given with threads to use on both Aida and Evenweave cloth.
