As Jan Eaton has already demonstrated so clearly with her highly successful Creative Guide to Cross Stitch Embroidery, demand for new stitching designs and ideas is on the increase as the popularity of the intricate needlecraft of cross stitch enjoys a great revival. For Around the World in Cross Stitch the author has drawn her inspiration from a wide and rich tapestry of international sources. Scanning the globe from the scented gardens of Imperial China and the high altiplano markers of Latin America to the sparkling tropical seas off Tahiti, she has sought a wealth of ethnic and traditional ideas and incorporated them into a fascinating array of pretty and practical items.
This magnificent book is divided, chapter by chapter, into the main areas of the world. Each chapter contains between three and five original projects accompanied by detailed instructions and attractive, easy to use full colour charts. Much enjoyment will be gained from the discovery of the backgrounds to the featured designs and enormous satisfaction from their creation. Red Indian dungarees, Mexican cushions, a Gujarati shoulder bag and a set of Polynesian bowls are among the host of unique designs included.
A final chapter on the practicalities of the craft provides instructions and explanatory diagrams for the various stitches and techniques involved. Additional information explains how to make up your chosen projects, how to use additional techniques for further embellishment and how to finish off and even frame your finished work to best effect. Here then is the perfect opportunity to widen your embroidery horizons, to expand on your technical expertise and to absorb fascinating diverse influences from all four corners of the globe.
This 1992 first edition hardback book is in excellent condition. The 176 pages are clean and fresh. The flyleaf is clipped and the dustcover is complete with only a little rubbing to the top of the spine.
