The Embroiderer's Garden by Thomasina Beck

The garden has long been a favorite source of inspiration for needlework and in this highly-acclaimed book, Thomasina Beck celebrates and illustrates the diversity of design to be found in this embroidery theme. This diversity is mirrored by the variety of color, shapes and texture in real gardens. The Embroiderer's Garden is full of practical suggestions for creating beautiful and individual stitchery using many different methods including canvaswork, patchwork, quilting, free and machine embroidery and contemporary stumpwork. From Tudor knots to modern herb gardens, topiary to trellises and with flowers of every variety, the glory of the garden is captured by the needles of embroiderer's throughout the ages.
