Stitched Memories - Tilly Rose

From Search Press, Stitched Memories by Tilly Rose is a paperback guide to creating textile artworks that preserve meaningful moments through cloth and thread. Using vintage embroidery, layered cloth and hand-stitching, it shows how to combine scraps of fabric with details such as lace, ribbon, buttons, beads, photographs and other found items to build pieces that tell a story or mark a special event.

Across 15 step-by-step projects, Tilly demonstrates techniques including hand embroidery, embellishing, collaging, quilting and more. You’ll find ideas for making cloth journals, hoop art, collages, wall hangings and quilts, with clear demonstrations covering layering and collage, creating your own fabrics, transferring designs to cloth, stamping on cloth, appliqué, patchwork and quilting, free motion embroidery and photo transfer. It’s a considered choice for makers who want to turn personal materials into keepsakes, whether drawn from a wedding, a child’s first birthday, a Christening or family heirlooms.
