Ideal for any stitcher inspired by the beauty of the natural world, these stunning designs will ensure that the colours of the garden and fields will flourish throughout the year. Even novice stitchers will be tempted by designs which are sure to grace any stylish home.

Thea Gouverneur has a wonderful skill for interpreting any subject into cross stitch, but she excels herself with floral designs. Her fresh style and mastery of colour is characteristic of the best of contemporary European design. Thea describes the personal inspiration behind each of the projects in the book, drawn from a childhood spent among the bulb fields of The Netherlands, a career in art and flower photography and the joys of growing and picking flowers, herbs and fruit for the home.

Each project includes a clear colour chart and thread key, a list of the materials needed and all the practical, step-by-step information required to complete the project. The book is illustrated throughout with superb colour photographs. A section at the back of the book gives advice on basic cross stitch techniques plus tips on personalizing the finish of the embroideries, including information on how to blend threads and incorporating metallic threads and beads.
