Diana Lampe is world renowned for her exquisite, real-life flower garden embroideries, and here, for the first time, are her two bestselling books in one beautiful collection. Embroiderers are invited to stitch four seasonal gardens—spring, summer, autumn, winter—along with a “kardinal” rose garden; a cottage garden; embroidered initials; garlands; and other extra projects. Fully illustrated, including actual-size samplers, and offering precise instructions, it contains tools and materials lists; a comprehensive Flower Glossary; a Stitch Glossary with notes for left-handed embroiderers; advice on how to wash and press finished pieces; and framing information.
