Review by Library Journal Review

Stumpwork is a type of raised and padded embroidery dating back to 17th-century England. In the wrong hands, it can look incredibly tacky and for this reason is sometimes ignored by serious embroiderers. Nicolas, however, has raised stumpwork to new heights, producing intricate, jewellike sculptural forms of fruits, flowers, and animals that make the possibilities of the craft evident. Here she teaches stumpwork in a well-organized step-by-step fashion that will make it accessible to even the beginning needleworker. This sumptuous U.S. edition of the Australian original is recommended for large public libraries and textile collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
