Countryside themes ranging from gardens, flowers and plants to farmyard animals, butterflies and birds, will inspire any embroiderer. Each design can be adapted to suit your own particular purposes - whether you want to use free style embroidery to decorate a personalised gift, or use a recurring motif in cross stitch or satin stitch as a border for a tablecloth or curtain, while the imaginative and varied examples, specially photographed in colour for the book, will encourage you to experiment with different styles to create unique masterpieces of your own.
