Wildflowers provide an endless source of inspiration, and this first book in Tilly Rose's new series draws on the beautiful outdoors as Tilly takes you on a journey of discovery to unveil the historic inspiration behind her creations, before putting her own modern spin on her truly unique designs.

Discover 25 original embroidery designs, inspired by nature along with the fascinating vintage heritage that surrounds us all. Tilly unveils the historic background to each of her designs, before putting her own modern spin on her truly unique stitched designs, each of which are sumptuously photographed in detail. Take inspiration from her stitched designs and use the variety of transfers in the book to create your own floral arrangements to stitch using your own choice of fabrics and threads.

The transfer designs are printed on iron-on paper, which can be cut out and used up to ten times, allowing you to create an array of beautiful designs over and over.

A detachable illustrated stitch guide, covering the 14 stitches used in the main designs, is included in the book, which makes the perfect handy reference to pop in your sewing bag when stitching on the go.

Tilly Rose's 3rd book will no doubt inspire stitchers once again to use your own findings, experiences and special fabrics to stitch pieces that are memorable and meaningful to you.
