TATIANA POPOVA Contrast in Crewel Embroidery

Modern Designs on Light and Dark An innovative exploration of colour in crewelwork, from leading embroiderer Tatiana Popova. At the heart of the book are the four paired 'Light and Night' embroideries. Each pair shares a single design but varies the colours of the threads and fabric, along with selected stitches, to give two distinctly different results. Clear instructions and full-sized templates for these ambitious and impressive designs are included. In additional you will find:

• 4 Doodle designs: produce fun finished pieces while you practice the stitches you needed for the Light and Night projects
• More than 135 crewelwork stitches, from back stitch to woven wheel, in Tatiana's comprehensive Stitch Menu.
• 100s of step-by-step pictures and supporting diagrams make the steps easy to follow, with every aspect of the craft given in-depth attention.

Whether you are new to embroidery or an experienced embroiderer looking for new ideas and expert guidance, Tatiana's latest book is one you will turn to again and again. Published by Search Press UK, 2025 Hardback, 224 pages
