?Embroidery is an ancient variety of decorative needlework in which
designs and pictures are created by stitching strands of some material
on to a layer of another material. Most embroidery uses thread or wool
stitched onto a woven fabric, but the stitches could be executed in,
for example, wire or leather strands, and embroidery can be worked
onto many materials. Non-woven traditional materials include leather
and felt, but modern textile artists embroider on many non-traditional
materials such as plastic sheeting. Often, specific embroidery
stitches are used.?

Art needlework

Bargello or Florentine embroidery

Embroidery History
?Embroidery and most other fiber and needlework arts are believed to
originate in the Orient and Middle East. Primitive humankind quickly
found that the stitches used to join animal skins together could also
be used for embellishment.
In 1964, a Cro-Magnon hunter?s fossilized remains, 30,000B.C., was
found at a dig in Sungir near Vladimir, Russia. His fur clothing,
boots and hat were heavily decorated with hand stitched horizontal
rows of ivory beads - bead embroidery?"
"Chinese bead embroidery in Siberia, 5000 and 6000B.C., include
elaborately drilled shells stitched with decorative designs onto
animal hides. Mosaics of Byzantium, 500A.D., depict embroidery of
clothing with silk thread, precious stones and pearls. It is possible
the Chinese thread embroidery from 3500B.C. was the origin of thread
embroidery as we know it today.?
At the end of the article there is a good list of resources for
historical information.
