Learn to create unique textile art using vintage embroidery and cloth to preserve treasured memories!

Features 15 step-by-step projects and showcases a variety of techniques – including hand embroidery, embellishing, collaging, quilting, and more!

Vintage cloth, found objects, embroidery, layered cloth and hand-stitching are all artfully combined by Tilly Rose to create unique textile artworks that tell a story, record a special event, or celebrate a memory of a special person or place. Tilly describes how to create these textile artworks using scraps of fabric, thread, lace, ribbon, buttons, beads, photographs and other found items that readers either already own or have sourced from elsewhere.

Inside you’ll find 15 projects for cloth journals, hoop art, collages, wall hangings, and quilts. In step-by-step demos, Tilly shows you a variety of easy techniques, including:

Layering and collage
Hand embroidery
Creating your own fabrics
Transferring your designs to cloth
Stamping on cloth
Appliqué and embellishing
Patchwork and quilting
Free motion embroidery
Photo transfer

Create a textile artwork using fabric and items from your wedding, a child’s first birthday, a Christening, or even family heirlooms. Be creative, feel free to experiment – and turn beloved materials into treasured keepsakes.

Tilly Rose is a creative mixed-media textile artist, designer, tutor and avid journaller. She is based in the beautiful Cambridgeshire Fens, UK, an area that influences her designs amid her whole ethos of crafting for well-being. She feels deeply connected to Mother Earth and uses her walks within the landscape to inspire her. Tilly combines traditional sewing techniques with a love of layering cloth, adding textures through surface stitching and embellishing to capture the everyday snippets of life, giving her designs a modern twist but always with a beautiful vintage flavour. She holds workshops throughout the UK and online, and is a guest presenter on craft TV channels, showcasing her products and needlecraft skills. Tilly hosts textile tours in India and plans to extend this to other countries. She also regularly exhibits at craft shows. This is her fourth book with Search Press.
