Needlepoint Gifts

Young Yang Chung-master embroiderer, renowned scholar of East Asian textile arts, and gifted teacher-here reveals not only the secrets of silk embroidery, but also the colorful history behind the ancient art in Korea, China, and Japan.

Just as important as learning its history is mastering its fundamentals, and there is no better guide than Chung. She shows how to “paint with a needle” in 19 projects she designed, with detailed, step-by-step instructions, glorious color photographs, diagrams, and color charts. The instructions have been written with beginners in mind, but highly advanced embroiderers will find plenty to challenge them as well.
