Description

Kay Dennis is passionate about Stumpwork. This intricate, raised and padded embroidery has its origins in the 17th century and is enjoying a revival amongst embroiderers and lacemakers. It is wonderfully versatile and will appeal both to the novice and the seasoned needleworker.

Using a mix of flat, padded, wired, and free-standing elements, it employs a wide range of embroidery techniques. This comprehensive and colourful book covers both basic and needle lace techniques. Sections on each contain a series of elaborate step-by-step demonstrations showing how to work individual techniques, followed by a project combining all the methods.

In Beginner’s Guide to Stumpwork, Kay takes inspiration from a variety of sources, and her designs include animals, flowers, fruits, and insects—popular motifs in the 17th century. She also creates contemporary designs, and there are advanced projects on landscape and figurative work.

A gallery of Kay's work is included to inspire the reader.
