Description

Wildflowers provide an endless source of inspiration, and this first book in Tilly Rose's new series draws on the beautiful outdoors.

Discover 16 original embroidery designs, with variations and additional extras, all inspired by nature and the seasons. Tilly unveils her historic inspirations before putting her own modern spin on her truly unique stitched designs, each of which are sumptuously photographed 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 each, allowing you to create an array of beautiful designs over and over.

A detachable illustrated stitch guide, covering the 14 stitches used in the main designs, is included in the book, which makes the perfect handy reference to pop in your sewing bag when stitching on the go.

Tilly Rose's new book will no doubt inspire stitchers once again to use their own findings, experiences and special fabrics to stitch pieces that are memorable and meaningful.
