3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork - Melissa Galbraith

From Melissa Galbraith, 3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork is a paperback needlework book centred on stumpwork and raised embroidery, with botanical projects designed to help your stitching stand out. With 17 thread projects to make, wear, and display, it brings together hoop-based pieces and free-standing makes, including earrings, offering a varied mix for different styles of crafting.

Clear step-by-step photos and instructions guide you through stitches for beginners, intermediate makers, and advanced embroiderers, alongside finishing techniques for wearable, functional, and sculptural results. The book also introduces mini-skills such as padding and needle weaving, and explores how fabrics including tulle, cotton, and felt can be used with techniques such as embroidery, darning, and beading.
