Back Cover Information

This book is a must for all lovers of ribbon embroidery and stumpwork. It is suitable for first-time embroiderers as well as those who wish to learn brand-new techniques. It's unique in its combination of ribbon embroidery and stumpwork in the outstanding design, and offers the following:

  • A comprehensive glossary with colouful illustrations of more than 40 stitches
  • General infomation on stumpwork techniques
  • More than 30 original floral designs to choose from
  • Several new techniques for experience embroiderers
  • Each of the 12 panels individually explained with step by stp photographs and instructions including a comprehensive guide to all needles, thread, and ribbon required.

This is the fifth book by well-known South African embroidere and teacher, Di van Niekerk, whose artistically inclined mother and a keen interest in all things beautiful got her off to an early start as an embroiderer.

Her love for this discipline soon became her livelihood and starting an embroidery business was a natural progression for this talented crafter. Di lives in Cape Town where she runs two successful embroidery shops.

The end product of her latest interest, hand painting her own range of silk and organza ribbons for embroidery, is marketed to retail outlets worldwide.
