Miniature Embroidered Patchwork

Patchwork has timeless appeal and Margaret Major takes a fresh approach to the tradition of patchwork and demonstrates how to create 33 embroidered 1/12 scale patchwork items for dolls' houses. The author guides beginners through the basic stitches and techniques and offers advice on choosing the correct materials and equipment. Each project is accompanied by clear instructions, a chart and a colour key, and is suitable for stitchers of all abilities. Projects include: cushions, stool tops, bedspreads, carpets, wall hangings, bath mats, padded chest lids and fire screens. Also included is an explanation of how to take inspiration from an array of sources, suggestions for alternative colour combinations for a variety of effects and a demonstration of how to adapt the designs to produce different results.
