This is a book for lovers of Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies. Pictures in the book are to guide you whilst you stitch and the techniques described are for the beginner or the advanced embroiderer.

The ideas in this book can be used for other projects and designs and single elements can also be used as embellishments.  Detailed photographs show you every step to be followed with a comprehensive list of hints and tips, but an index might have been even more helpful. 

My mother would have loved to have this book, it’s for lovers of the sentimental pictures of fairies at the bottom of the garden. Oh and you’ll need good glasses when executing the exquisite stumpwork on the bees and butterflies.
