Elizabethan Cross Stitch by Barbara Hammet
Re-create the unmistakable style of 16th and 17th century needlework with this collection of Elizabethan-inspired cross stitch designs. Talented cross stitch designer Barbara Hammet has carefully researched and re-worked the look of embroidery of the period to create this stunning collection of projects for today's cross stitcher. Every project has been carefully researched, and Barbara reveals the historical inspiration behind each piece of work. Designs feature the elaborate depiction of flowers, plants and animals, and the intricate scroll and latticework favoured at the time. Much inspiration has been derived from the textiles, clothes and accessories of the day, while decorative touches such as pearl beads and blackwork add further touches of authenticity.
Barbara Hammet runs her own design business, Wessex Embroidery Collection, designing and selling kits based on historic designs. This is her fourth book for D&C, after The Art of William Morris in Cross Stitch, Art Nouveau Cross Stitch and Celtic Cross Stitch. She lives in Winchester.
