Focusing on all the skills necessary for embroidery, this guide helps artists create more than 100 pansies and heartsease flowers. Matching the colors of nature with the palette of cotton, silk, and woolen threads, the projects produce flowers that are true to nature in both form and color. The required stitches are kept to a minimum, so even inexperienced crafters are able to reproduce pansies for brooches, cushions, carpets, and pictures. The guide also features detailed material and technique sections, an extensive thread conversion chart, and an illustrated stitch gallery.
