Stumpwork Embroidery

Stumpwork--or raised embroidery--has a richness of texture that really makes a design stand out. Create lovely hangings, embroidered brooches, and charming images of flowers, animals, and wildlife with these 19 projects. Stitch dandelions, buttercups, and butterflies, or a deer next to a pear tree. Create a pinwheel decorated with foxgloves on one side and a dragonfly with metallic wings on the other. A thimble pipkin of bronze silk and calico muslin has a bee, hedgehog, and spider in its web. Includes instructions for every stitch you need.
