The embroideries in this beautifully illustrated work were inspired
in particular by the decorative panels and borders in the
illuminated Book of Hours created by Jean Bourdichon for Anne of
Brittany, early in the sixteenth century. Jane has chosen eight
flowers from myriad possibilities and interprepted them here in
stumpwork embroidery. Five are worked as botanical specimens, their
Latin names stitched below them. The other three, equally
botanically correct, are presented as illuminated panels with
richly coloured borders embellished with gold thread and beads.
Each piece includes a 'surprise' in the form of an insect (or two),
faithfully interpreted in fabric, wire, beads and thread. The
requirements and instructions for each project are given in detail,
along with a tracing patterns and explanatory diagrams.
