Synopsis

Written by a Royal School of Needlework tutor, this guide explores embroidered boxes from the seventeenth century to the present day, before turning to techniques and practical guidance for applying needlework skills to three distinctive makes. Projects include a small treasure chest with a curved lid, dragonfly embroidery and a false floor; a hexagonal box with an embroidered lid depicting afternoon tea; and an intricate stumpwork casket with a mirror in the lid and a hidden drawer.

Each project is supported by a template and detailed instructions covering preparation, embroidery and construction, with 600 colour illustrations throughout. Suitable for needleworkers looking to develop their practice through structured, project-led work.
