Book excerpt: Through her easy-to-follow stitch tutorials and patterns that are at turns playful and elegant, Dhara Shah shows readers the wide array of gorgeous embroidery designs that can be achieved with just 12 stitches. From the French Knot to the Herringbone Stitch, they’ll learn the ins and outs of each one before putting it to practice in one of the many striking projects. Beginners will appreciate the thorough introduction to fundamentals like choosing supplies and mounting fabrics, as well as the step-by-step instructions for each tutorial and pattern. Meanwhile, advanced embroidery artists will enjoy honing their skills and mastering the more challenging techniques to create unique designs both on the hoop and off. Offer your yoga-enthusiast friends a Chakra Chronicles hoop and wow littles ones with the Sprinkles of My Donut! pattern. Celebrate the changing seasons with motifs like Welcoming Spring Flower Bouquet and Snowy Christmas Trees, and turn heads with show-stopping embellishments like the “Autumn Breath” Tote Bag. Whether you are just embarking on your embroidery adventure, or have some experience under the belt, this will be your go-to guide to projects that are as accessible as they are one-of-a-kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF A CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE AWARD 2018 In the early twentieth century, Marguerite Zorach and Georgiana Brown Harbeson were at the forefront of the modern embroidery movement in the United States. In the first scholarly examination of their work and influence, Cynthia Fowler explores the arguments presented by these pioneering women and their collaborators for embroidery to be considered as art. Using key exhibitions and contemporary criticism, The Modern Embroidery Movement focuses extensively on the individual work of Zorach and Brown Harbeson, casting a new light on their careers. Documenting a previously marginalised movement, Fowler brings together the history of craft, art and women's rights and firmly establishes embroidery as a significant aspect of modern art.
