Excellent resource and inspiration
I waited to use this book before giving a review. It goes without saying it is a beautifully designed and photographed book but the content exceeds expectations. You can choose a basic frame for your piece then add (step by step) various components to make the most beautiful flower embroidery projects and Jennifer guides you through each step. Suitable for beginners and experienced stitchers, the stitches are included at the back so no need to worry and Jennifer shows you how to design your own composition. It is full of inspiration . Highly recommend.
