Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Embroiderer's Floral: Designs, Stitches & Motifs for Poular Flowers in Embroidery

Book Review: SUBLIME FLOWERS
Summary: 5 Stars

The closeup photography is superlative, the very clear photographs in the stitch glossary, along with the drawings of the patterns make this book a great addition to the needleworker's library.

Although there are some simplistic contemporary renderings of flowers included which normally I don't go for, they are not intrusive nor too many and can certainlly have their place in inspiration.

All in all, this is a wonderful book!
