The Glorafilia Needlepoint Collection
The Glorafilia Needlepoint Collection
Author:
Throughout the world, the name of Glorafilia conjures up the 'creme de la creme' of needlepoint. This unique partnership of Jennifer Berman and Carole Lazarus has brought a new freshness and excitement to this much-loved gentle art. To stitch one of their projects is to understand this reputation; their lively approach to design ... more » so much fun - the philosophy is to froget schoolroom restrictions and enjoy it!
This book shows, in great practical detail, how to achieve the quality that has made Glorafilia famous. It describes the themes that have inspired the projects, the sources of ideas available to all of us, and how to create an adaptation of whatever excites you.
There are detailed instructions for projects, with colour charts and stunning photographs, which make the book itself a visual feast of colour and design. The themes are many and diverse - classical motifs, Victorian florals, geometrics, oriental - for cushions, pictures, stuffed animals, samplers and rugs. Projects can be approached at all levels of skill - simple for beginners, challenging enough to satisfy even an experienced needle-worker.
The book's unique feature is the set of Glorafilia stitch cards on which to learn and practice the various needlepoint stitches - no other book offers such a useful and easy method of mastering the techniques. The 25 stitch cards are contained in a special folder and can be obtained absolutely free of charge by sending in the proof of purchase. Just fill in your name and address, cut out the coupon, and send it to the address provided.
A glorious celebration of needlepoint - the essential book for all who appreciate fine stitchery.
