One of the latest titles in this series presents over 100 designs from Acacia to Zinnia, including both popular and less well-known floral examples. Several different interpretations are given for many of the plants, and for added interest, the page presentations include either an historical or horticultural note or a poetic quotation. Trace-off templates are included together with details of stitches and threads used. This is a delightful book and a useful addition to any embroiderers' library.
