Part of an exciting new series spearheaded by the Royal School of
Needlework, this forward-looking guide explores the intricate art of
embroidering boxes for use as keepsakes and jewelry boxes.
This beautiful, practical guide to creating and embellishing embroidered
boxes is written by Heather Lewis, a tutor with the Royal School of
Needlework. It contains a history of the embroidered box, from the
sixteenth century to the present day, and features techniques and
guidance for needleworkers wishing to apply their skills to a practical
application of the craft.
There are three extended projects to try: a hexagonal box with a lid, a
small treasure chest with curved lid, and an intricate stumpwork casket
with hidden drawers.
