Applique Art: Freehand machine-embroidered pictures

This sumptuous book features six beautiful step-by-step projects, with full-size templates included, as well as galleries of Abigail's unique, contemporary artworks, on themes including teatime treats, animals and the seaside. From fraying and layering to free machine embroidery and embellishment, this gorgeous book teaches you how to recreate Abigail's whimsical style, and will inspire you to create wonderful pieces of your own with confidence and flair (and use up some of those stash and treasured fabrics, too!). The book touches on Abigail's inspirations and influences and looks in detail at the elements that bring her work to life: colour, texture, pattern and free-machine embroidery techniques. This is a paperback edition of the best-selling original.

Ideal for readers interested in crafts & handiwork.
