Synopsis

Designed as a slow-stitching journey through the countryside, this book combines EPP, hand embroidery and quilting to help you create a nature-led heirloom quilt. It includes 25 individual embroidery designs featuring wildflowers and insects, alongside 12 border blocks, with step-by-step instructions for both the stitching and the final quilt assembly.

Inside, you will also find iron-on embroidery transfers, guidance on 10 essential embroidery stitches, and a palette of 40 DMC thread colours for added texture and depth. The project is shown framed with Liberty Tana Lawn fabrics, although other quilting fabrics can be used, and the book is illustrated with the author’s original botanical drawings and plant lore. Suitable for quilters and embroidery enthusiasts looking to combine hand-sewing techniques with a small amount of machine piecing.
