Over 500 years ago, great wealth combined with an explosion of artistic creativity to produce England's first truly indigenous fabric designs. Today the Tudor style continues to inspire fashion wherever people desire elegance along with practicality. Your own personal accessories and home decor can bring Tudor stylistic elements to many variations on eleven basic projects that include floral silk cushion covers, a multi-colored sampler, linen place mats and coasters, embroidered and beaded box lids, and your choice of beaded evening bags. Beautifully photographed finished projects combine with illustrated stitch patterns, captioned instructions, and shortcut diagrams, to lead you through each step to a finished work. You'll be inspired to try your own original mixes and matches of designs and projects. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
