'For lovers of embroidery, collectors of stitch, and even artists working in the medium, this study of pattern will provide rich pickings as it explores the symbolism of magic, myth, religion, rites and rituals that intertwine with the meaning of embroidery' - Embroidery
'A bible for those who appreciate the richness, the history and the infinite variety of embroidered textiles' Birmingham Post
The art of embroidery has been practised for thousands of years. In the West, traditions have been at the mercy of trade and fashion, but in other regions, embroidery continues to be rooted in ancient beliefs and superstitions.
This beautifully illustrated book examines in detail the fascinating symbolism of the motifs and patterns that give life to these traditional textiles from around the world. The global range is as remarkable as the variety of materials and motifs on display. Each textile - whether Chinese court insignia, Japanese kimono, Sumatran sarong, Turkish napkin, Ghanaian banner, Native American pouch or Peruvian Nasca textile, among others - bears its own distinctive designs.
Complete with a glossary, a dictionary of stitches and information on public collections as well as how to collect textiles of one's own, this is an unrivalled guide for anyone interested in textiles, costume or craft.
