This classic book , first published in 1974 is an ideal guide to assist crafters and future rug makers in the process of selection, design and elaboration of their products.
The basic guidance is intercalated with pictures obtained at colleges and from professional crafters illustrating how stitches are used differently to highlight different parts of the design and to give it a new meaning.
The contents of the book are
1. Introduction
Preparation for canvas work
Equipment
Transfer of design
Framing in a square frame
Stretching finished work
2. Canvas : Stiff and Soft Canvas
3. Yarns
4. Design
5 Canvas stitches
6. List of stitches
7. Suppliers
8. Book list
Here are my favourite parts of the book and hope these pictures help you decide whether you should or not add this book to your bookshelf.
The handbag above is absolutely beautiful and would love to execute this item. What about you , what is your favourite item?
Best wishes,
Ariane
