The Embroiderers' Guild was founded in 1906 and has in its collection embroideries from all over the world. These wonderful works, which somehow survived through the ages, could be said to be one of the most important groups of embroideries assembled in one place. Stitched pieces and fragments were gathered together by early members of the Guild and inserted into portfolios that were circulated among members.Nature has always been a huge source of inspiration to embroiderers and this fantastic book showcases the Embroiderers' Guild's huge collection of embroidered birds through the ages. From the subtle shades seen in crewelwork and the Buratto lace of Europe to the glittering silk, metal and beetle wing designs of China, Japan and India, author Dr Annette Collinge presents a beautiful array of stitchwork that truly is a feast for the eyes.Featuring full-colour photographs and extended captions, items are shown also in full along with detailed images to show off the stunning stitched birds at their best. These wonderful embroidered treasures are as varied as badges, postcards, aprons, wall hangings, dresses, cushion covers and samplers, some of which date back to the 17th century.Collected from many different countries, this exquisite book is an opportunity to see fabulous works that are very rarely seen in public. Mary Corbet, of Needle 'n Thread, said in her review of the first book in this series:"e;Embroidered Treasures: Flowers is a fantastic book! It's inspirational. It's informative. It's beautiful!"e;For most of us who will never see a collection of embroideries like these up close and personal, this lovely book is the best way to experience them and learn about them. We can take what we learn and apply it to our own needlework pursuits. Or we can just enjoy the beauty of the pieces and appreciate the history behind them.It's a great book for your reference library..."e;

"The Embroiderers' Guild collection holds a unique place in the affections of embroidery enthusiasts. The first pieces were donatd by Queen Mary, Patron of the Guild 1924-53, and since then members have been donating their treasured pieces of embroidery, collected from Britain and around the world, to be appreciated by other embroiderers. The Collection has grown dramatically and now contains about 10,000 pieces from many different cultures, housed in the Guild's splendid headquarters in Hampton Court Palace. For the first time, this exceptional book shows an inspiring selection of 150 of the Collection's best pieces, mostly illustrated in superb colour photographs. There are exquisite framents from Chinese court costumes, stunning Turkish sashes and richly patterned Indian shawls, North American beadwork and patchwork can be constrasted with European peasant embroideries, and there is a comprehensive British section spanning four centuries of remarkable work. The Collection is particularly acclaimed for its inspiring contemporary pieces. Each work is described in detail by an acknowledged expert: the type of stitch, thread, fabric and design, and the fascinating social background. This book will undoubtedly become a treasure in itself, invaluable for embroiderers, students and collectors - and a most beautiful gift"--Jacket
