"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

An important collection of beautiful, historically significant iron-on transfer designs from the Embroiderers' Guild. The use of hot iron transfers in embroidery has a long and fascinating history, but they've often been looked down upon by serious embroiderers and have therefore been largely overlooked. They were, however, produced in large numbers and much of the work created from them was of a very high quality. An important though largely forgotten part of the Embroiderers' Guild legacy is the huge collection of hot iron transfers dating back to the early 20th century that were created by members of the Guild. They fell out of favour in the 1960s and the Guild stopped producing them. Many transfers were stored away and haven't been seen since those times; others were simply thrown away. This publication, which consists of one booklet of transfers and one booklet of worked examples, showcases specially chosen examples worked in specific ways as an inspiration to readers to either follow, or work in their own way. This is a massively important collection of beautiful embroidery transfers that will excite embroiderers, textile artists, historians and lovers of traditional and vintage embroidery everywhere.
