FLORAL NEEDLEPOINT - BEAUTIFUL BOOK by MELINDA COSS

Floral Needlepoint

by

Melinda Coss

'This glorious book, by one of our leading crafts designers, contains 20 gorgeous new needlepoint ideas on refreshing floral themes all inspired by the natural beauty of our gardens and countryside.  Lilies-of-the-valley and lavender, primroses and poppies, sunflowers and irises, violets and wild strawberries; motifs such as these lend themselves to needlepoint.  Each exquiste design will encourage you to create beautiful gifts for family and friends from fabulous footstool covers and firescreens to pretty picture frames, colourful cushion covers and richly patterned rugs, even an original clock based on the dandelion!'

'All the designs are fully illustrated, with 100 specially commissioned colour photographs, complemented by exceptional watercolour illustration, clear charts and detailed, foolproof instructions.'

'Floral Needlepoint is also interlaced with echoes of legends, myth and folklore surrounding every flower and herb in the 20 designs, making this a fascinating book to read.'
