The Midas Touch

The Midas Touch is a very fitting and appropriate title for the sequel to All That Glitters, where Alison Cole’s touch shines through, turning her inspiring designs into fine gold embroidery.

Following on from her successful first book All That Glitters, Alison Cole presents another book of Goldwork and Stumpwork projects to both inspire and challenge embroiderers, from beginners to experienced alike.

Hand embroidery, like any other skill demanding manual dexterity, needs constant practise. The projects depicted in this book provide further opportunities and challenges for all embroiderers to fulfil their potential.

The Midas Touch features sections on basic supplies and requirements, stitches and techniques as well as projects, ranging from dimensional framed pieces to functional items all with clear, easy to read instructions, illustrations and colour photographs. This book will continue to develop and enhance the abilities of all those who love Goldwork.
