Diana Lampe's Embroidery from the Garden (Milner Craft Series)

Rating:
Summary: Exotic Garden of Stitchery
Review: Diana Lampe's book of embroidery designs is as visually pleasing as it is instructionally detailed. "Embroidery from the Garden" includes precise stitching directions, vivid color photos, and a variety of South African and Australian flowers to embroider in a number of projects. Lampe's original designs are easy to follow and a joy to replicate. The exotic flora of the tropic clime are listed by their botanical names (i.e., Strelitzia reginae --- Bird of Paradise, Felicia amelloides --- Blue Marguerite), and illustrated to capture the flower's essence. This exquisite book is perfect for anyone who is serious about embroidery. Take a minute to stop and stitch the Rhodohypoxis!
