Editorial Reviews

Stumpwork, a curious term invented by needlework historians, refers to three-dimensional stitchery mounted on a fabric background. Nicholas, the author of several books on stumpwork, indulges her love of nature in this book devoted to needlework dragonflies formed from a variety of threads, beads, and delicate fabrics. There are projects for a "specimen box" of nine dragonflies with general instructions for embroidery, construction, and mounting. The finished insects are quite beautiful and very lifelike. This rather specialized book is suitable for general arts and crafts collections. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
