Recensioner i media

I knew this book would be good but when it arrived my jaw literally dropped. An absolutely delightful book that would be worth having even if all you ever did was look at the beautiful photographs. But this is so much more than just being wonderful to look at, it is packed full of instructions to make the most exquisite ribbon embroidered pictures. Even before the main projects there are over 50 pages of techniques, and they’re genuinely packed full of instructions without preamble and have lots of step by step photographs. The projects themselves are amazing and filled with intricate details that seem scary at first but the instructions take you right through them and the flowers look almost real, especially the fabulous roses. This superb book is a complete joy to own.
