A Love of Cloth & Thread: Among the Wildflowers

The first book in Tilly Rose's new series, where you can enjoy 16 original designs, with variations and extras, inspired by nature and the seasons. Tilly shares her historical inspirations and how she then puts her own modern spin on her truly unique stitched designs, each of which is photographed beautifully and in detail. 

The transfer designs are printed on iron-on paper, which can be cut out, stored in the pocket at the back of the book, and used multiple times. 

As a bonus, there's a detachable illustrated stitch guide, covering the 14 stitches used in the main designs - perfect for refreshing your technique or to simply use as a handy reference. The designs include holly and primrose for winter, forget-me-nots and wild pansy for spring, daisies for summer and leaves for autumn.

Tilly Rose's new book is a gentle walk through embroidery and the beauty of wildflowers.  I love the wildflower transfer designs in the back of the book, as that allows you to recreate the ideas in the book and then create your own design, without worrying about sizing and proportions.  It is the perfect book to indulge in with a warm cuppa to hand, and needle and thread in the other.  It is another beautiful Tilly Rose book to add to my collection.
