Paint with Thread: A Step-by Step Guide to Embroidery: Through the Seasons

Learn the needlepainting techniques of artist Emillie Ferris and embroider your way through the seasons with the stunning book. Needlepainting is a form of embroidery that produces richly detailed, lifelike works with simple stitch techniques and a single strand of thread. The gorgeous color gradients and flowing stitch directions of needlepainting are especially perfect for capturing flora and fauna. In this illustrated step-by-step guide, self-taught embroidery artist Emillie Ferris shows you how to use a needle to create strokes of color and bring images to life on fabric. Inspired by nature and the changing seasons, Emillie has created five new and exclusive patterns for the book, four that reflect each season in turn and one special design that brings the natural year together into one showstopper of embroidery. Emillie shares her own tips and techniques, including advice on materials, transferring designs onto fabric, and fully illustrated explanations of the stitches and skills needed.
