Description
Bring vibrant color and texture into your home with Everyday Folk, a comprehensive guide to folk embroidery. This full-color book introduces the modern stitcher to the world of traditional folk embroidery, featuring over 175 charts and using just two essential stitches: cross stitch and backstitch.
With clear, detailed instructions, you'll be able to create a wide variety of beautiful and useful household items, from table runners and cushion covers to wall hangings and more. The book begins with a series of essential projects, before guiding you on how to design your own projects and adapt historic layouts to create lively and colorful textiles.
As the author explains, "We yearn for color, complexity, and beauty in our daily environment. Folk embroidery is a compelling example of this deep desire to create objects that surround us in color, texture, and symbolic meaning." Discover the beauty of folk embroidery and bring it into your modern home with Everyday Folk.
