The Young Embroiderer by Jan Beaney

This "how-it-is-done" book shows how embroidery, in addition to its function of decorating tray cloths, cushion covers, dresses and lingerie, etc., can also be used to create beautiful panels which, like paintings, are just there to be looked at and enjoyed. As a means of self-expression, fascinating experiments can be made with a wide range of materials and designs. This book contains many examples of what can be done when an imaginative choice of subject is linked to the right use of materials.
