Embroidery For All 1960’s Vintage Ideas

I came across a book the other day in a local second hand shop by Constance Howard

called ‘ Inspiration For Embroidery ‘ and thought it was something worth sharing.

There’s a great range of ideas explored throughout and ways to sketch and

gather information as well as a lot of example photographs of embroidered work.

Published in 1966 by B T Batsford Ltd, it’s a 240 page book that’s well worth a look.

I know Constance has published at least another three books ‘Design For Embroidery ‘,

‘ Embroidery And Colour ‘and her ‘ Book of Stitches’.  I’ve not seen the others,

but they do tend to pop up online, very reasonably priced, from time to time.
