Jan Constantine is delighted to announce that on the 5th July, she will be launching her second book, ''Love Stitching'' which will be published by Jacqui Small. A striking follow-up to her successful first book, Heirloom Embroidery, this new book takes a more modern approach and includes Jan''s iconic signature designs. Love Stitching is a fabulous collection of 21 decorative appliqué and hand embroidery projects. Using bright colours and strong shapes in a series of graphic, bold designs, the book captures a mix of nostalgia, romance, patriotism, exuberance and celebration. It features some of Jan''s bestselling designs on cushions, wall hangings, throws and bags, including clear step by step instructions and design templates. Love Stitching guides the reader through the various stitches and sewing methods required for each item and will inspire homemakers of all ages to get stitching. With beautiful photography by Caroline Arber, this book will become a design classic.
