Embroidery for All Seasons

Diana Lampe is world renowned for her exquisite, real-life flower garden embroideries, and here, for the first time, are her two bestselling books in one beautiful collection. Embroiderers are invited to stitch four seasonal gardens--spring, summer, autumn, winter--along with a "kardinal" rose garden; a cottage garden; embroidered initials; garlands; and other extra projects. Fully illustrated, including actual-size samplers, and offering precise instructions, it contains tools and materials lists; a comprehensive Flower Glossary; a Stitch Glossary with notes for left-handed embroiderers; advice on how to wash and press finished pieces; and framing information.
