Embroidered Pictures to Make and Cherish
Drawing much of her inspiration from her family and from the countryside around her home, Kit Nicol has developed an exciting approach to stitch craft that will have wide-ranging appeal. Her exquisite embroidered pictures range from simple landscape scenes using just one or two stitches to raised embroideries incorporating more elaborate techniques such as stumpwork. Kit also borrows freely from other areas of needlecraft, using traditional quilting techniques such as trapunto to give a simple 3-D effect. Packed with useful tips for designing and executing your own embroidered pictures, 'Painting with Thread' is an inspiring book for stitchers of all levels of ability.
