Victorian Canvaswork by Kathryn Brennand

The original Victorian canvaswork (or Berlin woolwork, as it is also called) exists nowadays only in the faded embroideries stitched a century and more ago, and in the hand-painted charts filed away in collections. This book brings them to life again in their traditional colours. The designs presented are reproductions of original Berlin charts, accompanied by full instructions for stitching and making up the embroideries into cushions, curtain tie-backs, a stool cover, a picture ribbon and frame, a needlecase, and more. There are also suggestions for adapting each project to create your own original designs.

Caroline Green appreciates using her writing to educate, empower, and encourage others by sharing enlightening findings.
