Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create beautiful landscapes and flowers using handstitching and only six simple stitches. Handstitched 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 just six simple stitches, 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 step-by-step projects that depict, among others, a hedgerow, a bluebell-emblazoned woodland, sunflowers, a butterfly, a poppy field and a summer scene of buddleia and bees.
