Artist and embroiderer Elian McCready has been one of the best-selling designers for Ehrman Tapestry for years, and this book includes work that has previously only been available in kit form, as well as six new creations. Elian's work is theatrical and larger than life, but her skill is to create highly coloured yet subtle results. The projects are worked in tent stitch and long stitch, and superb colour charts and photographs make the instructions easy to follow. Materials for each project are listed and there is advice on stitching and making up.
