Synopsis

Helen explores each month of the year in embroidery through traditional celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July, as well as through the changing scenes of nature like the appearance of the first snowdrops, the arrival of migrating birds like the swallow, harvesting the corn, or the ripening of autumn fruits. Helen's special talents lie in her close observation of the flora and fauna of the natural world and translating them with skill into exquisite embroideries. In this book she continues to share her secrets with the reader.
