Creative Canvas Work by Elsa S. Williams

Creative Canvas Work by Elsa S. Willliams

The art of needlework on canvas is perhaps the most challenging and most versatile of all forms of embroidery. Its final value often exceeds that of any other completed needlework and the satisfaction of accomplishment is unlimited. This book is a basic, but very thorough textbook on the craft of canvas work. A brief introduction is followed by information on materials and tools; how to begin; creating your own original design; applying the design to the canvas; choosing stitches; stitch diagrams; repeat designs; bargello; reproductions; joining canvas; and blocking and finishing. An essential reference for every needlepointer!
