I love this book full of gorgeous flowers in sumptuous coloured silks. This A-Z is just fantastic. I love the Zantedeschias, Violas, poppies and more. There's a how-to, guide to materials and painting your own ribbons, transferring designs and techniques. Stitches are clearly shown. Each design has a template you need to enlarge, good photographs and clear instructions. The instructions are written rather than shown in step by step photographs. Very realistic looking flowers and a book to treasure for many years.-Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts
