From pin cushions to chair covers and carpets, this beautifully photographed book contains over 25 designs for both experienced and novice needleworkers.
Taking inspiration from the Victorian period, Elizabeth Bradley combines animals, birds, flowers and fruit into exotic and colourful images. With the aid of handpainted charts, clear and detailed instructions indicatingyarn colours and quantities, and practical information on stitching and making-up techniques, each design is easy to complete.
