Free-Form Embroidery with Judith Baker Montano - Judith Montano

From bestselling author Judith Baker Montano, Free-Form Embroidery with Judith Baker Montano is a paperback stitch guide that explores ways to take embroidery beyond traditional approaches. Using fine art principles, it shows how fabrics, threads and fibres can be combined with other embellishments to create expressive textile scenes, from landscapes to seascapes.

Inside, you’ll find guidance on conveying natural details such as seaweed, shells, pine trees and pond lilies, with techniques designed to help build layers, create dimension and perspective, and blend shapes. With 60 stitches and 67 stitch combinations, the book supports embroiderers looking to translate a favourite snapshot of a landscape or seascape into fibre art, while expanding their stitch vocabulary with a more artistic, free-form approach.
