Synopsis

Drawing on influences from Islamic architecture, 17th-century crewel bed hangings, Indian block prints and the Arts and Crafts movement, this collection explores how historic pattern and colour can be translated into contemporary embroidery. Across 14 projects, Margaret Light presents needlework accessories, decorative panels and embroidered tiles, combining techniques with an emphasis on lively colour play.

Clear, structured guidance covers both stitching and construction, supported by a substantial library of diagrams and step-by-step photographs for more than 90 stitches. Threads and fabrics referenced include wool, cotton and silk on linen, with colour illustrations throughout.
