Embroidered Flowers for Elizabeth (sorry this book is no longer available. It is out of stock and out of print)

Rich in colour and decoration, this book echoes the sumptuous style of the Elizabethan era. The favourite flowers and fruits of Queen Elizabeth I and her subjects are stitched in the same beautiful colours and ornate fashion that gives embroidery from this era such long lasting appeal. Each of the 12 large floral motifs and 12 small ones are worked together to create a superb large throw, but can easily be adapted for individual use on any number of items. A full thread conversion chart is provided so that the embroidery can be worked on any scale in wool, cotton or silk thread. Stunning photographs, clear concise instructions and 110 step-by-step photographs make this an irresistible title for all embroiderers.
