		<description><![CDATA[Simple, fresh, and contemporary - Mary Norden's embroidery redefines this traditional craft. Her distinctively elegant style and unerring eye for color are reflected in each of the original designs she has created especially for this book, from outlined images of kitchen utensils and simple geometric shapes to more intricate and complex motifs, such as sprigs of wild flowers and clusters of summer fruits. Whether you have never embroidered before, or you have had some experience and are searching for new ideas, Decorative Embroidery provides all the inspiration you will need. Yarn quantities, templates, and color stitch diagrams accompany each design, along with full instructions for transforming finished pieces into decorative soft furnishings such as bed linen, tablecloths, cafe curtains, and pillows. With alternative color schemes and design variations, there are also plenty of opportunities for stitchers to create their own unique embroidery projects. A final section provides an illustrated step-by-step guide to embroidering all the stitches in the book, as well as information on how to transfer a template to fabric.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the 1890s until the outbreak of the First World War, C F A Voysey was one of the most successful and renowned British architects. His elegant, white-rendered houses with stone window dressings and sweeping green-slate roofs combined clarity with a sensual appreciation of natural materials. A designer of all things domestic, as well as an architect, he was often involved in every aspect of a house's interior from wallpaper, curtains and furniture to fire grates. Moreover, the fluid curves of his decorative designs and the elongated simplicity of his furniture prove him to be a vital historical link between the Arts and Crafts and the Modern movements.As the first definitive account of Voysey's architectural career, this book combines contemporary sources -- photographs, quotations, original wallpaper designs and watercolour perspectives -- with specially commissioned photography of his houses.]]></description>
