The embroidery designs in this project-oriented book are inspired by old-fashioned flowers and gardens, and feature sweet peas, roses, holly-hocks, wisteria, lavender and forget-me-nots, a fountain, arches and cypress trees. They are worked up into projects including a shadow box, calico mice, a candlescreen, pillowcases, a jewellery box, shoe stuffers, kitchen accessories and cushion covers.
Each project is illustrated in colour, with many explanatory diagrams. Clearly illustrated guides will allow readers to brush up their knowledge of stitches and techniques.
