'Embroidery From Sketch to Stitch' is an exploration of the textual qualities of fabric and thread, paper, paint, crayons and dyes. They are interpreted in evocative portraits of Australia's Flinders Ranges and Red Centre, gardens in New Zealand, fruits and flowers, and theatre and harbour scenes from Great Britain. The embroideries are accompanied by brief notes from the artist setting their mood.
An unusual and special section at the end of the book outlines the techniques and processes Langford employed in creating each work, notes which provide a fascinating insight into the world of the artist at work.
