Whitework Inspirations - Inspirations Studios - Embroidery Inspirations

From Inspirations Studios, Whitework Inspirations is a paperback embroidery book celebrating the distinctive beauty of whitework: intricate designs created with white thread on a white background. With colour removed from the equation, the focus shifts to texture and detail, using techniques such as high-relief stitching, cutting, and pulled or withdrawn threads.

Curated as part of the Embroidery Inspirations series, this collection brings together 8 whitework projects, including a tablecloth, table mats and sachets. Projects are contributed by Kim Beamish, Deborah Love, Judy Stephenson, Christine P Bishop, Susan O'Connor, Patricia Girolami and Luzine Happel, and are supported by clear step-by-step instructions, pullout patterns and a stitch guide. Alongside the makes, the book explores the origins, stitches, techniques and designs that define whitework, offering plenty of inspiration for embroiderers looking to develop their skills and create detailed, tactile pieces.
