Description
Decorative Victorian Needlework by Elizabeth Bradley is a highly sought-after reference for needlepoint and canvas embroidery lovers. Taking inspiration from the Victorian period, Elizabeth combines animals, birds, flowers and fruit into exotic and colourful images across 168 full-colour pages.
The book includes over 25 charted designs ranging from small pin cushions and framed pictures through to ambitious chair covers and carpets. Designs include shy rabbits in a woodland hollow, a posy of violets, a giant floral wreath, rich autumn leaves, patchwork pillows, and abstract geometric borders featuring interlocking diamonds, stars and pinstripes.
Previously only available as part of Elizabeth Bradley’s premium needlepoint kits, the charted designs and hand-painted colour charts are collected here in one volume alongside comprehensive stitching instructions and an informative history of Victorian canvaswork (also known as Berlinwork).
