Description
The Bayeux Stitch: A Practical Guide to Medieval Embroidery. This book explores the simple yet elegant style of the Bayeux tapestry, demonstrating traditional techniques and projects that showcase the beauty of medieval embroidery. Tanya Bentham delves into the narrow range of stitches used in laid and couched work, introducing a limited colour palette and rhythmic use of colour to create intricate designs. Twelve step-by-step projects illustrate how to stitch subjects ranging from knights to trees, and from dragons to bishops, allowing embroiderers to bring this timeless art form to life. By exploring subtle variations in techniques and materials, Bentham reveals the endless potential of the Bayeux stitch, making it accessible to crafters of all skill levels. With its focus on practical techniques and inspiring projects, The Bayeux Stitch is an ideal resource for anyone interested in medieval embroidery or looking to expand their stitching skills.
