Back Cover InformationLeafy Trail

This lavishly illustrated book includes a large range of Indian and European hand embroidery techniques, combined with free-motion machine embroidery, quilting and beading. Munni Srivastava frequently uses patchwork as a "canvas" on which to project her embroidery, her aim being to achieve a richly textured surface that ripples under the light.

The book includes sections on:

  • Indian embroidery techniques
  • Shisha work - Kantha quilting
  • Motifs adapted from traditional designs
  • Free-motion machine embroidery
  • patchwork techniques
  • Design advice for successful mixing of techniques
  • Tips on presentation and framing of work
  • Over 15 projects from cushions to wallhangings
