I'm self taught when it comes to embroidery and I love it.

This is a great book for more advanced embroiders. The designs are gorgeous and the instructions are very detailed. It even includes a guide on how to do the stitches used in this book and the types of fabric/thread the author recommends to use.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the finished images came before the instructions. It would have been better, in my opinion, to have included the instructions with each finished image. Also, there were no project ideas included in this book, which I would have liked.

A gorgeous book of embroidery with incredible detail that mirrors the kinds of botanical illustrations you might find in a text book or field guide. From bulbs to roots to the actual blooms, no detail is overlooked, and the finished products are stunning. Instructions are similarly thorough, laying out the kinds of stitches to be used and the order in which to complete each design, with tips for getting the best and smoothest results. A very fine book for advanced embroiderers; I only deducted a star because I would have liked to have seen some project ideas for inspiration.

Beautifully illustrated, with clear diagrams and instructions. A lovely addition to any embroiderer library.

Un rigoglioso giardino primaverile boccia da queste pagine, grazie agli schemi chiari e raffinati dell'autrice, che ricrea con precisione lenticolare la delicata flora, spontanea e non, che arricchisce il fazzoletto di erba di un cottage inglese

Gorgeous, inspirational book filled with beautiful project ideas.
