Celtic Inspirations For Machine Embroiderers |


Leading embroidery authors Valerie Campbell-Harding and Maggie Grey translate the richness of Celtic imagery into fabric, textiles and stitched work using machine embroidery. The visual Celtic elements from fine manuscripts, metalwork and stone sculpture - spirals, knots, plaits, lettering, interlacings and meanders - are brought to life through designs that start simply and build up to more complex pieces.
| The book gives detailed information on the design process, then progresses to stitch, with plenty of new ideas as well as new slants on old favourites. A final chapter shows you how to put together finished pieces and - should it all go wrong - how to redeem an uninteresting piece. The authors encourage readers not just to copy existing designs but, through experimentation and stitch samples, to make the work their own. | ![]() |
