Annotation. Trish has always been fascinated by miniature art and for years has had a yen to try and embroider smaller pieces. There is something so endearing about little paintings with all the detail and form of a larger piece, not to mention the fact that they are much quicker to stitch! Here she has compiled fresh and appealing designs that depict the pretty, romantic illustrations typical of the Victorian and post-Victorian eras. Each project is accompanied by a detailed thread diagram which shows exactly which colour should be used and where. The small size of the designs allows for great flexibility in their final usea such as group framing, making up into cushions, book covers, quilt squares, needle cases, box lids, tote bags, pockets on clothing and so on.

The crisp combination of a red & white quilt has been a favorite of antique quilt collectors. "Turkey work," as it is known in Europe, was born in 1881 in the pages of Harper's Bazaar. Later, the individual squares were sold for a penny, hence the term Penny Squares. With these charming patterns you can embellish quilts, pillowcases, hanger covers, aprons and more and bring adorable accents into your home.
