Hand-stitched Landscapes and Flowers is a beautiful exploration of
the potential of embroidery in depicting the natural world. Katrina
Witten, who is a regular on crafts channel Hochanda, uses no more
than six simple stitches for each embroidery, plus delicate
embellishments and an array of techniques and fabrics to portray
pastoral scenes of fields, flowers and creatures with eye-catching
three-dimensional effects. There are ten detailed projects to try,
depicting, among others, a hedgerow, a bluebell-emblazoned
woodland, sunflowers, a poppy field and a summer scene of buddleia,
butterflies and bees.
