Tapestry and Beadwork: Canvaswork Projects for the Home Book

Take your canvaswork into the next dimension—with beading and raised stitching that create textured effects. A starter's guide to canvas, yarns, stitching, templates, and more provides the basic information. Stitch a "Queen Mary's Tree Cushion," Carnation Pattern Needlecase, and several samplers. Add beads to designs inspired by Tudor and Elizabethan embroideries—a Tudor Cushion, floral stool, Rosebud Waistcoat, or Strawberry Glasses Case. There's a variety of patterns, and a potpourri of borders. 26 projects in all, shown in full color in beautiful room settings. 128 pages (all in color), 30 b/w illus., 9 1/2 X 10 3/4.
