Summary"For me, a day without embroidering is almost as unthinkable as a day without breathing. A certain amount of obsessive addiction is very nearly the only way to produce a volume of work as a hand embroiderer, given the slow nature of the work. It is this slow pace, this contemplative, restful quality of hand embroidery that I love so much."
Having taken a degree in textiles, Sue Dove discovered embroidery and so began her twenty-year passion for needle and thread. Sue creates glorious, vibrant, free-style embroideries using a simple satin stitch, and this book contains an inspirational collection of her exciting work as well as basic step-by-step instructions. Her highly readable text encourages the reader to develop their own talents and create very special embroideries.
