Synopsis

Helen Dafter's books describe how to create evocative representations of favourite garden flowers in silk ribbon embroidery. This second volume of "Embroidered Treasures for Silk Ribbon" contains a range of projects, including a toiletry bag, a child's dress, a draught bolster and a serving tray. To give her designs extra depth and colour, the author has painted pale wash backgrounds on her fabric before embroidering. Detailed descriptions of how the paint is applied make it a technique that readers should be able to incorporate into their work easily. There are colour plates of each project, with diagrams of the stitches and flowers.
