This book, which offers step-by-step instructions, charts and trace-off patterns, provides 25 detailed needlework projects using different types of gardens as their themes. The basic techniques of stitchery are examined, accompanied by explanatory diagrams and information on available tools, fabrics and yarns, and useful tips. A selection of projects include bed and table linen, cushions, sachets, wall pictures, and mirror and picture frames. Jane Iles has published two previous books on embroidery, Old English Roses in Needlework and Learn to Embroider.
