Canvas Work Bands and Borders

Canvas Work Bands and Borders by Jane D. Zimmerman

Packed full of 551 wonderful border designs, this book is a must for needleworkers who enjoy adding that special touch to their needlework pieces or just need to increase the dimensions of a design. While most of the diagrams in this book show the turning of a corner, all patterns can easily be used as horizontal or vertical bands such as for a sampler. The designs are based on traditional canvas work stitches and, as such, are grouped into chapters according to the stitches used. Included are borders based on Mosaic Stitch, Straight Gobelin Stitch, Crossed Stitch, Plait Stitch, Eyelet Stitch and Tied Stitch as well as other miscellaneous stitches. Also included are a selection of Florentine bands and borders, Pulled Thread borders and Pattern Darning borders. If you love needlework, this volume is a must for your library!
