[Jessica Reeves]

An early book from Trish, but equally as lovely. Photographs not as good as later books but still lovely to do and instructions are easy to follow.

[Tracey]

Clear and easy to follow instructions with plenty of detail as to how to create stitches and the materials and colors used. Useful for a beginner but also good for more advanced embroiderers. Redoute's flowers are exquisite.
