This is a project-based book and whilst the primary focus is Goldwork, the author's passion for both Goldwork and Stumpwork is evident through the diverse range of stunning projects featured. They vary from dimensional framed pieces to functional items all with clear, easy to read instructions, illustrations and colour photographs. There are also sections on basic supplies and requirements including paddings, fabrics and frames whilst stitches and techniques refer to transferring designs, brick stitch couching, overcasting and much more.
It is a very impressive book that is written in a clear concise way and is full of practical advice and tips that will appeal to anyone with an interest in thesse forms of hand embroidery. * Sew Today * Winter 08
A fascinating book, most aptly named, featuring both Goldwork and Stumpwork. All the projects are beautifully illustrated in colour, with clear instructions and detailed lists of requirements. This is an excellent book for all skill levels with the basic stitches and techniques fully explained. It will inspire both beginners and experienced embroiderers. Alison is a truly gifted writer.
