The Embroiderer's Countryside by Helen M. Stevens

Remarkable embroidery artist Helen M. Stevens lives and works in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, which inspires her stunningly realistic embroideries of wild animals, birds and flowers. This book reproduces for the first time in print, and in full color, a superb collection of seventy-five of her embroideries. For embroiderers, there is detailed discussion of the techniques used, with a gradual progression form simple to more advanced forms. There is a wealth of information on the composition and design of wildlife embroideries and plenty of creative inspiration for the budding embroidery artist.
