With the help of internationally renowned embroiderer Jan Messent, you can create your own original and personal embroidery designs.

Jan Messent simplifies the process, proving that anyone can do it. In each chapter, she discusses in an accessible, humorous way different sources of ideas ~ word associations, colour, symbols, music and the human form ~ and demonstrates how these ideas can be developed into embroidery. She also looks at the way in which techniques, fabrics and stitches complement an embroidery design. Colour photographs, showing Jan's work and that of other leading embroiderers from around the world, plus a wealth of practical drawings, will help you to design with confidence.

Jan Messent's World of Embroidery will bring your creative talents to life; your design ideas will be quickly turned into exciting embroidery.
