| Summary |
Learn the timeless charm of whitework embroidery in these thoroughly modern projects. Whitework is one of the few types of needlework that has rarely gone out of style through the centuries. These 15 gorgeous designs, each with a project to show it off, demonstrate how whitework comes to life not through color, but through the visual texture and sculptural effects your stitches create. Learn four of the most popular types of traditional whitework embroidery--Schwalm, Ajour, Hedebo, and drawn threadwork. The projects here are easy to succeed with, including table linens, pouches, wearables, and more, and are designed to fit perfectly with today's sense of beauty. Includes a complete how-to stitch guide and full-size patterns.--From back cover |
