Leading embroidery authors Valerie Campbell-Harding and Maggie Grey
translate the richness of Celtic imagery into fabric, textiles and stitched
work using machine embroidery. The visual Celtic elements from fine
manuscripts, metal work and stone sculpture - spirals, knots, plaits, lettering,
interlacing and meanders - are brought to life through designs that start
simply and build up to more complex pieces.
The book gives detailed information on the design process, then progresses to
stitch, with plenty of new ideas as well as new slants on old favourites. A final
chapter showrs you how to put together finished pieces and - should it all go
wrong - how to redeem an uninteresting piece. The authors encourage
readers not just to copy existing designs but, through experimentation and
stitch samples, to make the work their own.
