Sinopsis:

De la solapa interior: Embroidery Techniques from East and West is a rich source of information, practical guidance, and inspiration, ideal for embroiderers and quilters who want to expand their repertoire of techniques and bring originality to their work. Combining Indian and Western hand embroidery, quilting, and beading, Munni Srivastava creates unique pieces inspired by a variety of cultural influences. Some of the embroidery techniques may be familiar to embroiderers and, similarly, the patchwork techniques to quilters, but the fascination lies in their fusion and in the exciting work it produces. Embroidery Techniques from East and West includes sections on: Indian embroidery techniques; Shisha work―kantha quilting; motifs adapted from traditional Indian designs; free–motion machine embroidery; patchwork techniques; design advice for the successful combining of techniques; and more than 15 projects, from cushions to wall hangings. This outstanding book also offers advice on the presentation and framing of embroidered textiles as well as their conservation. A Crafter’s Choice Book Club Selection
