Hi Grace - yup the books go for something daft like £160 or more!! Haven't looked in a while. They are fabulous books and I have both - much treasured! I was at Ally Pally the year she passed away and there was exhibition running of their work - she sadly passed away the week before and he still came and sat on the stand.  You were certainly VERY privileged to have been taught by them.

If you want to learn some stumpwork, I know there are several teachers on here already. I've got classes starting shortly, if you go to my blog you can see my latest post. I'm doing stumpwork beetles, they are my own design, but I did get inspiration for Jane Nicholas beetles. I learnt from Kay Dennis in the UK, and did volunteer work at St Paul's Cathedral and understudied with Kate Sinton from the Royal School of Needlework. Kate has just released her stumpwork book through the Royal School of Needlework.  Grace has several articles in Stitch magazine, and Elizabeth has free tutorials on her blog offered now and then too.  Along with just doing a Google search, you can find heaps. So there is plenty on offer for you.

I didn't know that Lorna.  Thank goodness I bought them when they first came out as I wouldn't be without them.  Wasn't it a shame that Barbara didn't write any more before she died.  I was taught by her and she and her husband were delightful people, always willing to help.

My very first source of inspiration  for stumpwork was Jane Nicolas who deals with all the individual elements of stumpwork extremely well. She initially published two books which later came out as one.

Nicholas, Jane - Stumpwork Embroidery - Milner Craft series - Australia 1995
Nicholas, Jane - Stumpwork Embroidery -Designs and Projects - Milner Craft series - Australia 1998
Nicholas, Jane - Complete Book of Stumpwork Embroidery - Milner Craft series - Australia 2005

I also work with and recommend books suggested below to students - all excellent! The Hirst books are out of print though and now very expensive on Amazon second hand!

The A-Z of Stumpwork is also very good :-) Very clear, step by step photos.

Welcome to this group Helga.  There are instructions for some Stumpwork in the Tutorials section here.  I learnt my Stumpwork from a book by Barbara and Roy Hirst called "Raised Embroidery - A practical guide to decorative Stumpwork"  published by Merehurst Ltd. but there are other books about the technique.  I really love doing this technique and have been doing it for some years now.  It does take time but you can get so many little details into it.  I do hope you enjoy doing it and find the instructions easily.  Grace
