BOOK: Stitched: Scotland's Embroidered Art

Embroidered textiles were once a common feature in Scottish homes, but they are relatively undervalued in presentations of historic interiors. Focusing on the period 1720-1920 and taking a comprehensive view across the collection of the National Trust for Scotland, this book brings new research on Scottish embroidered household textiles into the light. 

With chapters on inspiration and design, display and decoration, skills and collaborations, household embroideries from some of Scotland's finest houses made by incredible women are shared here for the first time. This book is a celebration of the history of embroidery and a source of inspiration for textile lovers everywhere.
