Many of these flowers look real, created from ribbons that have been hand coloured and stitched on in a number of innovative ways, including new stitches created by the author. This is one book that really has the wow factor in spades. Another lovely book for the keeper shelf, and my favourite book of 2019 so far. -- Rachel Hyde * myshelf.com *
