内容説明
Mountmellick embroidery is a highly textured form of whitework embroidery, originating from the town of Mountmellick in Ireland, around 1825.Mountmellick embroidery uses floral motifs and heavily knotted and padded stitches. The plants featured are traditionally those that grew in the township of Mountmellick itself, such as oak, blackberry, dog rose, and ivy.Part of the fun of working Mountmellick embroidery is playing around with the stitches and working variations of them. On some historical examples of Mountmellick, there were only a limited number of stitches used. However, due to all their variations, the effect produced was highly patterned and varied.The following features are regarded as being characteristic of Mountmellick work: it is worked in white matt (no shine) thread on white cotton satin jean fabric; the shapes are big and bold and usually floral - the leaves and flowers are usually at least life-size, if not larger; it has a buttonholed edge, usually with a knitted fringe attached; and, lace is not used.Yvette Stanton and Prue Scott are award-winning embroiderers with over 15 years' experience of producing beautiful intricate embroideries. Both Prue and Yvette have a particular love for whitework embroidery. Prue is also a trained botanist and botanical artist, and her beautiful designs are a feature of this book. Yvette's previous book, "Elegant Hardanger Embroidery" was published in 2002 by Simon & Schuster (Kangaroo Press). Both authors live in Sydney.

My favourite Mountmellick book
2005/5/2
形式:ペーパーバック
This book has some of the best stitch diagrams and instructions that I have ever seen! It has instructions for knitting the fringe, and 15 gorgeous projects. I don't know which one to do first! The projects presented are in historically accurate traditional style - which is important!
There is also a section on the history of Mountmellick, and the characteristics of Mountmellick embroidery.
If you want to learn Mountmellick embroidery from people who know what they're talking about, then you need this book!

Magnificent Mountmellick Book

This book has everything: stitch instructions and diagrams, review and sourcing of materials and beautiful projects complete with diagrams. Mountmellick Embroidery is a form of raised whitework using a melange of surface embroidery stitches. Traditional Mountmellick work utilizes only the non-mercerized Mountmellick thread and the cotton satin jean fabric. However, adventurous stitches might experiement with the traditional threads on non-traditinal jean, sateen or colored fabrics to widen the range of this beautiful embroidery.
As a previous reviewer notes, the stitch diagrams are clear and well layed out and easy to understand. The directions for knitting the traditional fringe are likewise clear and easy to follow and this aspect of Mountmellick work is rare included in the books on the subject. Finally come the projects. They are beautiful, include diagrams for transfer to the fabric, are useful in the contemporary home and could be easily modified in terms of size should the stitcher desire. Each project has several clear photos of the finished piece so that the embroiderer can refer to them while completing the project. Truly a wonderful book on this lovely form of embroidery. Recommended for both beginners to Mountmellick and those who have some experience and are looking for projects and motifs.
