Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage


Book Description

Teresa Wentzler's masterful creations never fail to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. But there's something special about this pair of designs--the beautiful birds and fantasy foliage are worked entirely in whole cross stitches and use very little backstitch. That means the rich shading will come to life on your fabric more quickly than Wentzler designs of comparable size. You'll soon see these exotic creatures proudly posing on pillows or in frames. Stitch count for each design is 160w x 160h. Some stitches use blended colors of floss. Each black-and-white chart is divided into four sections. Models worked over two threads on 28-count Zweigart® Cashel linen; finished size of each design 11.5 x 11.5. Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage (Leisure Arts #3936)










The Body in Question


Book Description

*** NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR *** A 52 year-old photographer and a 41 year-old anatomy professor are jurors sequestered during a sensational three-week trial: a toddler murdered by one of his twin sisters. At the court appointed cut-rate motel off the interstate, they fall into an intense, furtive affair, but it is only during deliberations that the lovers learn they are on opposing sides of the case. Suddenly they look at one another through an altogether different lens. After the trial, the photographer returns to her much older husband amidst an ongoing media frenzy over the case. But the judge has received an anonymous letter about the affair, and she is preparing to release the jurors names. From that point on, the photographer’s “one last dalliance before she is too old” takes on profoundly personal and moral consequences, as The Body in Question moves to its affecting, powerful, and surprising conclusion.

Celtic, Viking and Anglo-Saxon Embroidery


Book Description

This book combines everything held dear to the author's heart in a single volume - embroidery, writing, artwork, history and books. Her beautifully executed creations combine myriad materials, including hand-stitched threads, glued papers, fabrics, fibres, paints and beads, and are presented here as a series of 'altered books', each representing a chapter that follows on from the last, and each exploring one of the major themes of the book, including textiles, stitches, clothing and accessories. Historical facts are ingeniously interwoven with contemporary renditions of ancient artworks, bringing to life the ancient skills of Celtic, Viking and Anglo-Saxon women, and celebrating the centuries-old tradition of embroidery in England that has served as a foundation for present-day excellence.
