Description

How do you actually stitch a mountain? Embroider a tartan kilt or a tweed jacket? Or sew a castle, an explorer, or a periwig?

Many of the visitors to The Prestonpans Tapestry and The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry have asked these questions, and within this book you will find some inspiring answers. Images from both tapestries have been selected to illustrate the ways in which their embroiderers brought such details so vividly to life using simple stitches, one stitch at a time.

Collated by two of the projects’ stitchers, this illustrative book is sure to bring ideas and inspiration to any stitcher or fan of the tapestries.
